Architecture Analysis & Design

We provide a roadmap for implementation and a business case demonstrating how these essential investments can drive enterprise-wide productivity and growth

The right enterprise, system and network architecture helps organizations reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and speed innovation. However, architecture investment decisions are often bumped off the priority list. Repeated deferrals can be due to a lack of overall visibility, and the business community's lack of understanding of the short-term versus long-term investment benefits. When IT objects to investment prioritization, they are often accused of not understanding the business processes and needs. Effective architectural analysis and design provides clarity for all stakeholders into the current state. It also identifies inhibitors, provides a roadmap for investment and helps communicate how these vital investments can drive productivity and growth.
 
How We’re Different
How We Do It

How We’re Different

• Other companies recognize the value of business/IT collaboration on functional requirements. Athens Group uniquely recognizes that the same collaboration is necessary for non-functional or architectural requirements.
• We include processes (both business & IT) as part of the definition of architecture.
• Our architectural analysis toolset applies to all levels of the architectural infrastructure: enterprise, system, application, data, and network architectures.
• Knowledge transfer is part of every project, so, when your project is complete, your team has better architectural analysis & design tools and skills to apply throughout your entire organization.

How We Do It

Our proprietary Architectural Gap Analysis™ toolset can be applied in a bounded project to align the four key Architectural Perspectives™ in the seven critical Architectural Success Factors™. The completed analysis is reusable across multiple architectural spheres, resulting in better future architectural decisions. It also prevents the confusion of technologies and standards that results when everyone acts as an architectural stakeholder. We provide our toolset at no extra charge, and will train your system architects to use and continually update it over future years.
