Architecture & target image
A viable solution does not come about by chance. It requires a clear vision, a suitable architecture and a shared understanding of how systems, processes and organization should interact.
In the Architecture & Target Image module, we develop a resilient professional and technical orientation that serves as a guard rail for implementation, further development and operation.
Who is this offer intended for?
are facing a major technical or organizational change.
have to coordinate several systems, processes or specialist areas.
need clarity about future target architecture and development direction.
not want to make decisions in isolation, but on a strategic basis.
What is developed as part of Architecture & Target Image
The aim is to develop a consistent and sustainable overall picture that takes both professional and technical perspectives into account.
Target image definition
Together we define:
- the professional and technical objectives
- Relevant framework and boundary conditions
- Quality requirements (e.g. scalability, maintainability, security)
Architectural concept
Building on this, an overarching understanding of architecture emerges:
- Classification of the systems and components involved
- Definition of roles, responsibilities and interfaces
- Consideration of integration and data flows
Evaluation & basis for decision-making
The architecture is evaluated in terms of feasibility, risks and dependencies:
- Identification of critical assumptions
- Assessment of effort, complexity and impact
- Derivation of options for action and recommendations
Result of the architecture & target image process
-
serves as a common reference for business departments and IT
-
Decision-making processes simplified and accelerated
-
forms a reliable basis for implementation, tendering or awarding contracts
