I see acceptance of technology certifications (e.g: Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle etc.) is more prevalent in the industry vs vendor agnostic cerfication like TOGAF. I do understand the great benefits that TOGAF brings to the table, however, the stakeholders are not realizing these benefits and this is resulting in weak acceptance and adoption of TOGAF in the enterprise. How can this be improved so that every enterprise will atleast have a TOGAF certifed EA? Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

That’s a great point, Vilas: EA is often done as a monolithic disconnected project, doomed to failure by both of those characteristics. An incremental approach using something like TOGAF makes it easier to adopt as it evolves.

One good thing that is coming to attention that Enterprise Architecture is not a project to be done and forgotten. Rather it is a ‘business as usual’ activity. Every enterprise has some architecture (may not be the best). Enterprises can only improve what they already have. There is no option of replacing existing architecture with a new shiny one in one fall swoop. It needs an evolutionary approach. TOGAF does support that thinking and makes it implementable.
