System Architecture and Design
The results you expect is the outcome you get
An IT system encompasses all of the components needed to accomplish an intended purpose. Those assets may include data, desktop PCs, hardware servers, application software, middleware, operating systems, networks, and more — some of which may be onsite and some in the cloud. All parts must function and interoperate seamlessly within the system architecture and according to the system design. If they don’t interoperate as planned or expected, the system will underperform or fail.
Holistic, agile, and iterative approach
That’s why Azentera™ takes a holistic, agile, and iterative approach to system architecture and design. We start by thoroughly understanding your business case and requirements (and stay true to them as they evolve).
We collaborate closely with stakeholders to create and implement a system design that takes into account such factors as:
- What are the intended inputs and outputs of the system as a whole?
- How should the system interact with users?
- What components need to pass data to each other?
- What are their respective interfaces?
- What types of data will be passed?
- What actions are expected as a result of the passed data?
As we design, we also develop prototypes, and perform continuous testing
As we design, we also develop prototypes, and perform continuous testing. We also undertake a technology review to see if the needed technology exists in-house or must be sourced externally. That can mean adopting (and likely adapting) a commercial or open source product or developing technology that does not yet exist.
These and all other decisions take into account the design schedule, business case, and budget to allow for the project and the system to achieve the expected outcome.
