Open Systems For Agility and Freedom of Choice |
The new business, data, application and technology architecture is defined taking into consideration the architectural principles and requirements identified during the architecture evaluation phase. We perform a gap analysis on the existing architecture and define the to-be architecture model.
Business Architecture
We evaluate your as-is business architecture and create the to-be process model. We ask the following questions to determine the business architecture: Does it provide features which enable you to have an edge in your business? Does it enable you to integrate with partners to deliver value? Does it enable shorter time to market?
Data Archtitecture
Data analysis is performed and a consolidated data architecture is defined. Datawarehousing and Business Intelligence requirements are identified as par tof this activity. We analyze the following questions: Does it have disjointed or redundant information? Is the data retrieval slow and inefficient? Is the database infrastructure utilized completely? Is the data model slowing the development of applications? Is it inaccessible to newly developed enterprise systems?
Application Architecture
A rationalized applications architecture is developed to satisfy the operational and strategic business architecture requirements. Is the cost of maintenance justifiable? Is it scalable in accordance with the estimated future load requirements? Is the system reliable under the regular operating conditions? What are the application performance requirements? What are the application security requirements?
Technology Architecture
Business Architecture enables us to identify a comprehensive technology architecture for the organization. Is the technology well supported? Are responses to technology issues fast? Is the technology community strong? Are there enough case studies for the technology? What are the integration requirements that are anticipated? What kind of network topology is required? How are branch offices connected to each other?
