Graphic: three stacked levels for enterprise, solution and integration, connected by continuous lines.

Three levels

One advisory, three perspectives.

Each level answers a different question. You can start on any of them.

Level 1

Enterprise architecture

“How does the initiative fit into our overall system landscape?”

  • Make the system landscape visible
  • Develop target picture and roadmap
  • Set up architecture gates and decision paths

Outcome: Target picture and roadmap

Level 2

Solution architecture

“What does the solution for this project look like in concrete terms?”

  • Assess options and work out the solution design
  • Advise on vendor selection
  • Document the solution design and take it through the gate

Outcome: Aligned solution design

Level 3

Integration architecture

“How do the systems involved talk to each other?”

  • Design interfaces and data flows
  • Define integration patterns and platform
  • Define rules for operations and further development

Outcome: Integration concept

How it fits together

Why all three from one source?

Decisions fit together

What is decided at enterprise level has to arrive in the solution and in the interfaces. We hold the line.

You start where it is most urgent

Start with the level where the most pressing question lies. We bring in the others when your initiative requires it.

One contact

You explain your initiative once. Nothing is lost in handovers between strategy, solution design and integration.

30 minutes, and you will know whether we can help.

You describe the decision ahead. We tell you which package fits, or that none does.
