Architecture

Enterprise integration should not be viewed as a destination, but rather as a journey. Higher business value can be realized as increasingly complex business processes are automated, standardized, reused and shared. Yet the costs of integration can also be substantial, both from a financial standpoint and in terms of the organizational disruptions that are often involved. For that reason, building a strong business case is critical to obtaining the organizational support that is required for a successful implementation.

What are some common pitfalls in architecture design that can cause delays or failures in projects?

• Lack of understanding of the core requirements
• Lack of business case or drivers
• Selecting the wrong technologies for the problem domain
• Lack of visibility into the data and metadata within the organization

To find effective and realizable solutions, our consultants support you to

• Gather and valuate requirements
• Define a stable business model independent of organizational boundaries, systems and procedures

Project management

Ensuring that an integration project is brought in on time and to budget requires much more than technical excellence.

The administrative side of integration projects is more challenging than the technical side. Thus, program and project management should consider the peculiarities of integration and manage these initiatives appropriately in all project activity areas:

• Politics
• Expectations management
• Scope and change control
• Methodology
• Requirements gathering and validation
• Infrastructure (hardware and software tools)
• Design and development
• Security
• Quality assurance
• Deployment
• Support
