Architecture Consultancy Services
Technical Architecture for new applications is typically defined within an IT Development team, and is driven by the functional requirements of the business client.
Although an application may fulfill it's basic functional requirements, it is essential that the Production-readiness criteria are addressed in order to ensure that the final application is cost-effective after it has been deployed.
Examples of Architecture Consultancy Services
- Design of a multi-tier internet-based infrastructure solution for a major retail Bank. Our experience in understanding the issues involved with supporting production systems enabled us to design a reliable, resilient solution capable of scaling to millions of users.
- Analysis of a new application design to ensure that the necessary ITIL-based requirements are addressed as part of handover from design to production.
- Establishing an IT Production Architecture team, with the remit of defining a target architecture, so that all future development would be based on a commonly understood base, leading to economies of scale and reduced cost of support.
- Defining operational supportability criteria and processes for assessing and reviewing proposed technologies at Development stage, to identify the operational risks associated with the proposed new application.
- A medium-size Book Wholeseller had developed a new Database-driven ordering system, which had performance problems. A Consultant addressed these by re-tuning the database and system. As the company had not implemented any performance monitoring systems, he also recommended suitable software tools, but (most importantly) a strategy for identifying performance issues going forward.
