As an organization, we have engaged with The Open Group since August 2024. Personally, I obtained a TOGAF® certification in 2022.
Q. What do you do, and how long have you been doing it?
I´m in charge of the EA team at Bantrab. I have been in this role since February 2022.
Q. Why did your organization become a Member of The Open Group Architecture Forum and what does/will your involvement look like?
We base our EA practice on the TOGAF standard. All the EA members have achieved the TOGAF Certification (Foundation is the minimum required). We are looking to gain more information and access benchmarks about how to evolve the practice in our organization. We have been engaging with BIAN also in the last months, since we are looking to grow our EA practice as much as possible and based on recognized practices.
Q. How has/will membership in The Open Group benefit you, your organization, and the industry at large?
We are looking for networking and access to benchmarks. We are sure that getting to know how other organizations have implemented and evolve the EA practice will contribute to our own practice. Also, having the opportunity to share with fellow EA practitioners experiences, can provide ideas about how to face hurdles and challenges related to the practice.
Q. Why is it important for other organizations to join The Open Group?
To build a robust community specialized on the practice. This generates a unique opportunity to access experience and adopt different practices which can help to evolve the practice and generate value for our organizations.

We are looking for experiences, benchmarks, success cases, and networking related to the EA practice. We consider ourselves as leaders on the practice in Central America, and we are committed to promote the practice in the region since we are sure that it generates value to the organization.
