Solution and enterprise architecture
Solution and enterprise architecture for systems that have to work alongside everything already in place, and keep working as they grow.
When this is the right assessment
- Every project solves integration again, differently.
- Nobody can draw the system landscape without three people in the room.
- A design decision made two years ago is now blocking four projects.
What it covers
- Solution design and review
- Integration and data flow
- Standards your team can hold to
What you will know afterwards
A current landscape that exists on paper rather than in individual memories.
A target design with the reasoning behind each decision recorded.
Standards specific enough to settle arguments and short enough to be read.
Questions we get asked
- Is this a document or a working design?
- Both, and the document is the smaller part. An architecture nobody can build from is an essay.
- Do you work with our own architects?
- Preferably. The aim is that your team owns the result, which does not happen if we write it alone.
- What if we disagree with a recommendation?
- We record the disagreement and the reasoning on both sides. A decision log is more useful later than a consensus nobody actually held.
