IT Architecture

The architecture of a new system will influence your projects and your company for many years. Most people, however, find it difficult to have and keep a good overview of all the current technologies and the capabilities of each of those. Most of the time trial runs are not an acceptable option.
On the other hand, many companies are facing the problem that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to implement new solutions based on the current IT architecture. New functionality initiates side effects that become impossible to control over the time. These effects, called “architecture erosion” can, however, be controlled more effectively to save time and money.

The IT architecture is adequate to the capabilities and the costs of the suggested solution.
The IT architecture supports the current and possibly also future requirements.
Strength and weaknesses of the suggested IT architecture are well known and can be taken into consideration during the implementation of the solution.
Future enhancements can be implemented easily and in a straight-forward way complying with the current IT architecture.

• Consolidating existing IT architectures
• Designing new IT architectures
• Inspecting and evaluating implemented IT architectures
• Inspecting and evaluating future IT architectures
• Tracing requirements to IT architecture decisions
• Supporting projects when designing the IT architecture
• Spotting and preventing the erosion of IT architectures

Precise and clear decisions support your IT investments.
No unpleasant surprises concerning the real-life capabilities of the selected IT architecture.
