Architectural Factors for choosing a technical architecture

When looking at buy or build solutions, a couple of architectural considerations are:

  • What technology has the customer already invested in?

  • What vendor relationships has the customer alread established

  • What is the current and planned skills inventory within the IT function?

  • What is the comfort level of the staff with the current capability?

  • How much of the system's current capacity is being used?

  • Is the customer's operation centralized or decentralized?

  • What is the customer's sensitity to capital investment, operating costs, scalability, stability, and security?

I think the mistake the average vendor makes is that they think enterprises could in one sweep abandon installed legacy applications. It is not that easy.

What they should do is to develop applications that helps the customer and makes the process of migration and abandoment easy.
