Career Development

Other certification bodies make what they do “industry-specific” or “technology specific.” This focus makes it more costly and difficult for Architects to have better opportunities and advancements.

With the EACOE approach, individuals can use their training, skills, and tools within every sector - private, public, government, or non-profit.

With EACOE, certified individuals have premium industry-wide practitioner recognition for their achievements.

EACOE Enterprise Architects stand out from the saturated crowd who have only taken exams and do not have any recognized demonstration practitioner experience.

Those certified with EACOE often get their resumes "at the top of the pile" because of their certified demonstrated ability to produce successful Enterprise Architectures.

Professional Advancement

Our training and certifications provide professionals with applicable skills and insightful perspectives for applying Enterprise Architecture for change management and enabling enterprise agility.

Some of our highly practiced certified Architects work directly with C-suite and other high-level executives on various strategic enterprise enablements and tasks. These types of roles offer EACOE practitioner Architects rewards for their professional contributions.

EACOE Enterprise Architects practitioners have their foundation in science and mathematics and are able to produce human consumable representations, "blueprints," and explicit strategies and capabilities that lead to the organization's desired states, with proven abilities to address, analyze, and manage enterprise complexities and changes.

Financial Optimization and Gains

We offer the most cost-effective Enterprise Architecture certification and practitioner suite in the industry.

Cost Savings

Other certification bodies make those aspiring to become Enterprise Architects undergo countless additional training, tool acquisition and training, costly renewal and review cycles, and related costs, timing, and expenses, costing the individuals that actually want to produce and develop Enterprise Architecture wasted funds and time.

Other training and “certification” organizations require payments for multiple exams, costly static lectures, additional cost study guides, expensive and time-consuming practice quizzes, etc.

All of these requirements are designed for one purpose. To JUST pass a multiple choice, a, b, c, d test or essay exam.

1.    What about ACTUALLY providing the training and practice to develop an Enterprise Architecture? It is a secondary thought, at best.

2.    They are not designed to leave individuals able to produce usable and proven Enterprise architectures.

These same certifications do not include any usable resources or assets that get people started "next Monday morning."

To be a bit more direct, by the end of it, people are only left with "logos" next to their name and countless dollars spent on exams and passive lectures. They do not give people the solutions and results they need for the rewarding career growth and the professional development they desire.

With us, no investment is spent on static seminars, study guides, and "basis" of knowledge that are not proven to work.

EACOE Enterprise Architecture certifications include what an individual needs to start developing Enterprise Architecture the "next Monday morning," as we like to say. This includes;

  • Complete course Videos for reference after the Workshop

  • A frictionlessly easy-to-use software tool to guide the entire Enterprise Architecture development process.

  • The Enterprise Architecture Capabilities Development Engine - yes, the total methodology is guided by our software tool to take as much of the "burden" out of the effort as possible. 

    • This integration is unique in the industry and is the tool our Consulting Staff uses on client engagements. 

    • As a note, our tool is not required to be used, but as you can see, the integration is there for your use.

  • Fully worked-out Enterprise Architecture examples

  • Training materials

  • Video Tutorials.

  • Text-Based Tutorials

  • Project Plan / Work breakdown structure
