Are you a software engineer or a manager in IT or an IT-related field or are you a Chief Information Officer (CIO) in a company and are you looking for suitable further training to help you better understand and optimize the use of enterprise architecture? Is your goal to take on responsibility in the future and make a significant contribution to the success of strategic projects in your company relating to corporate planning, e.g. in the area of digital transformation, a company merger, restructuring and change processes or new innovations in technology?

Then the CAS Enterprise Architecture (FH) course - EA for short - is perfect for you. During the continuing education program, you will be enabled to successfully solve a wide range of challenges in the corporate environment. Enterprise architects design and conceive the structure and processes in organizations with the aim of determining how corporate goals can be achieved effectively. The process includes analyzing, planning and designing, and finally implementing in the company. Enterprise architecture management supports organizations in particular with digital transformation. In so-called EA frameworks - i.e. enterprise architecture structures - EA managers create a draft of all of a company's processes and structures based on their analyses. This draft serves as a map that contains all business processes and IT resources. The various IT landscapes are harmonized, combined and thus consolidated. The aim of EA is to build a bridge between business and IT and to introduce helpful standards so that resources are optimally deployed and utilized.

The CAS Enterprise Architecture (FH) consists of four modules and lasts approx. 1 semester on a part-time basis. Admission is open to people with a tertiary-level qualification (HF, FH, Uni, ETH) and two years of relevant professional experience in IT and/or business. Admission sur dossier is possible in consultation with the university of applied sciences depending on professional experience.
