Troux Accelerator Jump Starts New or Failing Enterprise Architecture Initiatives
TOGAF™-based EA Excellence Program Drives Value by Maturing EA Beyond Modeling
Austin, Texas - (Dec. 1st, 2009) - Troux Technologies, Inc., the leader in Strategic IT Planning and Control software, today announced an innovative new service delivery program, called Troux Accelerator for EA Excellence™. The program is designed to drive real business value by moving the practice of enterprise architecture (EA) beyond typically unproductive modeling activities. Troux’s Accelerator for EA Excellence is based on The Open Group TOGAF™ framework and incorporates experience from Troux’s own best practice knowledge base from over 300 Global 2000 and Government customers.
“It’s time to put an end to the EA ‘software as shelfware’ cycle. While EA Excellence helps companies starting out with EA to deliver value, it also rescues existing teams that are struggling to deliver business value. Typically, their tools are inadequate and they receive no best-practice guidance from their vendors on how to progress.” said Matt Price, vice president of worldwide marketing for Troux, Inc.
“Our EA Excellence Accelerator provides them with the know-how and upgraded tools, enabling them to move step-by-step from an EA modeling-based approach to a mature EA management program in time-boxed intervals, usually lasting no more than 60 days,” continued Price.
“The program is supported by a flexible pricing model to help them upgrade their old modeling tools to Troux’s next generation Strategic IT Planning software.”
