It is also where TOGAF introduces its layers of architecture (business, application, information systems and technology), which are widely reused in very different contexts by diverse companies.

TOGAF is the industry standard architecture framework. Like other architecture frameworks, the main purpose of TOGAF is to define the desired future state of the enterprise. Defining the required steps to reach this future state from the present state, is also TOGAF’s goal. 

To define this future state, TOGAF uses ADM - Architecture Development Method. The ADM is the heart of TOGAF. But TOGAF has other parts to support this process, such as, Document Repository, Document Classification, Governance Models, Reference Models and Developing Capabilities. 

There is a process for defining an enterprise architecture. So, why does a company need architecture? 

Enterprise Architecture connects the long-term strategy of the enterprise - as defined by the board directors and executives - into the implementation. It creates an actual plan for implementation. Architect designs the plan, using the ADM process. By working with various managers, architect designs phases to make it happen according to a schedule. Architecture vision is the goal and for the work plan to be implemented, companies need TOGAF. Also, since ADM is so generic, it can be implemented by any company.
