Business Abstraction

Business Abstraction provides highly practical and engaging training that enables effective application of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect in an enterprise IT, solution delivery, consulting or a software development environment. Courses and training techniques are developed to ensure immediate practical outcomes. In addition to a deep understanding of Visual Modelling and robust practical skills, Business Abstraction provides advanced techniques for presentation of models and the facilitation of model-driven communication. The purpose-designed training environment ensures personalised attention to each individual trainee and effective skills development.

“Modelling Practice” workshops focus on improving individual practices through the application of Sparx Enterprise Architect.
“Comprehensive Project-Oriented” Training combines all necessary knowledge and techniques, practical Enterprise Architect skills and modelling for the project at hand as exercises. The outcome is a trained and structured project team that clearly understand their places in a documented process and continues to work on an established model.
For larger Enterprise Architect deployment we can develop and implement a training strategy based on the Training Matrix.

When required, Business Abstraction can complement training with ongoing support, mentoring and assistance in applying Enterprise Architect and the model-driven process.

Business Abstraction’s involvement in SOA-related organisations and initiatives allows them to offer training in Service-Oriented techniques.
