Application Architecture

You Wouldn’t Build a House Without Blueprints…
So why would you develop or purchase and integrate software in support of your business without an encompassing plan? Many organizations have done just that, and now wonder if the investment was worthwhile. Indeed, many organizations find that they may have two or even three sets of software tools that do the same things for different groups in the company. Unfortunately, this is an example of duplicated effort, a lack of communication and over investment, which could have been avoided.
Aeritae believes it is necessary to create an appropriate ‘blueprint’ for your enterprise applications. As part of Aeritae’s Enterprise Architecture, Application Architecture defines the elements, structure, and relationships of application-related IT components. These application-related components support the processes used by people in the organization that drive the mission and goals of the enterprise. Aeritae can help you build a strong foundation in Application Architecture:

BUSINESS PROCESS: Whether the Software Architecture supporting your business processes are platform-dependent or independent, in-house developed or package-based, are they positioned correctly for the next steps your business takes?
APPLICATIONS: Are your functional applications like messaging, workflow and collaboration supporting your staff in ways that make them most productive?
INTEGRATION: Do you have plans to move toward a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)? Do you have the foundation laid for integration whether through applications or data?

By ‘blueprinting’ your enterprise, Aeritae will help you define an Enterprise Application Architecture that will provide the visibility needed to leverage your existing investments and eliminate unnecessary duplication. We focus on solutions that help align information technology with the business.
