In a complex, fast changing industry - the SFIA Foundation embraces the value of collaboration with an eco-system of organisations with shared interests. Greater value is achieved by working together towards common goals.
Examples of collaborative projects
-
SFIA and e-CF - A detailed comparison and mapping of the e-CF Framework (v3) and SFIA (v6) This is to be updated to reflect the most recent release of SFIA (v7) and eCF (v4).

Government bodies using SFIA
A natural question for potential users of SFIA is "who else uses it?". We would love to provide a comprehensive answer to that question, but the SFIA Foundation does not record or track usage of the framework by government bodies. This is for a variety of reasons.
- Organisations can access the SFIA framework material readily – and people/organisations from around 180 countries have done this already
- IT leaders and managers typically "take SFIA with them" as they move organisations without re-registering their new organisation as a new SFIA user
- GPDR and other data privacy regulations limit the information collected and what information the SFIA Foundation can share publicly
- The SFIA Foundation is an active collaborator with current and potential users of SFIA but, as a not-for-profit organisation, we do not actively market or promote these relationships.
- In the early days of SFIA, annual conferences would be held to facilitate knowledge sharing amongst user organisations. This provided useful knowledge of government bodies using SFIA. Now that the user base is truly global this is not feasible, although, the SFIA Foundation is looking to alternative knowledge and experience sharing events.
If you are a government body and are willing to share knowledge and experience on how you use SFIA please contact the SFIA Foundation.
