'''The SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework''' (EAF) is a [[methodology]] and toolset primarily to support the effective adoption of [[Service-oriented architecture|SOA]]. It is based on '''[[The Open Group]] Architecture Framework''' ([[TOGAF]]) and specifically designed to support packaged solutions and [[Service-oriented architecture|SOA]].
The [[TOGAF]] Architecture Development Method is a generic method for architecture development, which is designed to deal with most system and organizational requirements. However, it will often be necessary to modify or extend the ADM, to suit specific needs. ([[TOGAF]] 8.1 Manual, 2002, The Open Group).
'''SAP EAF''' is a complementary set of additions to [[TOGAF]] to support the specific characteristics of package and service-based architectures.
'''SAP EAF''' was developed during 2007 by a joint team of over 30 SAP and Cap Gemini Enterprise Architects, most of which were [[TOGAF]] 8.1 accredited practitioners.
'''SAP EAF''' was formally launched at the SAP SAPPHIRE user conference in Atlanta, USA during 2007.
