Admit introduction to IT architecture design framework

Admit (Information Technology architecture Design (development) methodology) is a decision-making tool for systematically developing robust systems that use 20 design drivers and strategies and 15 lifecycle processes. This methodology defines the development lifecycle of an architecture, each phase of the cycle, and the process of managing the architecture development, which can be used with other frameworks. In addition, this article discusses architectural design levels and areas, resource dimensions, and how the architecture is associated with quality and design.

Introduction

In the field of information technology, architecture plays an important role in the modernization of business, it transformation, software development and other important initiatives within the enterprise. Using schemas can provide efficient, flexible, high-quality technical solutions for business problems. The architecture can be divided into three different categories: Enterprise Architecture, solution architecture, and system architecture. Depending on the context of the business scope, organizational structure and corporate culture, each category in the design and implementation of changes.

Schema level

Depending on the organization hierarchy and communication, each schema level represents the different scope boundaries and the granularity of detail that the schema activity should have.

Enterprise Architecture (corporate-level) provides architectural oversight and guidance to align technical strategy and execution plans with business vision and objectives.

The solution architecture (departmental level) builds a solution vision model that defines the corresponding IT systems, business processes, and reusable services for a particular business unit across business and technology architectures.

The system architecture (team level) defines the structure of an information system from the various subsystem components and the relationships between them and the various other systems within and outside the system. System architecture focuses on applications, data, and technologies, and is also referred to as software architecture in some organizations.

Architecture Area

According to the Enterprise's constituent unit, solution and system structure, from the perspective of information management, it architecture contains four domains.
