Architecture is the only answer!!

SAAS and Enterprise Architecture

  • Business Architecture – Business drivers, shareholders views, business process maps, value chains, etc.  Gaps in the existing enterprise solutions need to be mapped to the SaaS solution and analyzed for completeness.
  • Information Architecture – how does the SaaS impact data flow? Reporting and Analysis?   Data as an asset?
  • Integration Architecture – how will this new “cloud based” system interoperate with on-site systems?  Partners? Customers?  What is the impact on your integration principles and strategy / road map?
  • Operational Management – everything from security and risk to quality of service, communications architecture and SLAs.
