Service overview
Architecture is the discipline that keeps systems from becoming a collection of local decisions. We define the target state, the standards, and the transition path in language business leaders can use.
Business Challenges Addressed
What this service exists to solve.
Integration by accretion
Systems are added one decision at a time, creating duplication, fragile integrations, and unclear ownership.
Architecture disconnected from strategy
Technical designs do not reflect the capabilities the business is trying to build.
No transition plan
A target diagram without a sequenced path becomes shelfware.
