CAF Community

The purpose of the Chief Architect Forum is to test, challenge and support the state of the art and science for Business and Technology Architecture and its evolution over time.

We are passionate about the importance of Business Technology Architecture and our ambition is that this will become the preeminent, cross-industry, global meeting place for leaders in Architecture.

Established by Iasa Global which was founded in 2002 we had a simple mission and driving passion to improve the quality of the Technology Architecture industry. We have created the opportunity to network, created a powerful Book of Knowledge, established recognized accreditation programs and continued to advance the professionalism of technology architecture at every opportunity.
