Solution Architecture
Solution Architecture provides the link between enterprise architecture and project delivery and design.
Solution Architecture is concerned with developing architecture of specific solutions for development and implementation. Architectures are developed at different levels of detail or abstraction including, conceptual, logical and physical.
Solution Architecture also focuses on specific ‘horizontal layers’ or domains, these include, business, application, information and technology infrastructure domains. In addition, specialized domains, such as security, operations, integration, etc. are added to address requirements and priorities.
Solution Architecture is developed referencing best practice approaches such as the Rational Unified Method (RUP). The RUP framework describes the steps, activities and deliverables for effective for Solution Architecture development.
Solution Architecture models are developed to represent real world solutions using standardized modelling approaches such as UML and BPMN.
These models and deliverables are aligned with program architectures and provide the key reference for successful project execution.
