Welcome to the Center for the Advancement of the Enterprise Architecture Profession

Membership
Membership is free. To become a member, read and sign the Enterprise Architect's Professional Oath.
The Enterprise Architect's Professional Oath is a social contract for moral behavior, commitment towards the community, and mutual obligation among members and the Enterprise Architecture profession itself. The Oath is a guideline for shaping the behavior of Enterprise Architect professionals and for stating consequences of misbehavior.
The CAEAP will monitor compliance, establish protocols for due process to review infractions, and administer sanctions as appropriate and necessary.
NOTE: The Oath is one of the eight infrastructure pillars of the profession. In order to further legitimize professionalization, the CAEAP will endorse a code of conduct and provide oversight to its adherence.
