Six Key Questions About Architecture
Are you looking for an IT architecture? Or are you thinking of
building your own? Whatever your plans, here are six key
questions to help you make the right moves:
-
Does the architecture embrace or promote mission-critical
values such as security?
- Is the architecture comprehensive; does it address all the
necessary functions?
- Does the architecture restrict you to one platform or one
vendor's set of platforms?
- Does the architecture stand the test of time; that is, will it
allow expansion by easily scaling up or down?
- Does the architecture take into consideration what already
exists, and ensure that current investments are preserved?
- Does the architecture limit your freedom to choose products
from different suppliers, restricting your options to pick the
best fit for your environment?
