Solution architecture
As part of the Solution Architecture service, ALEF ensures high quality design and implementation of complex ICT solutions, which often require consolidation of a number of technologies, taking into account the needs of performance, availability, security and appropriate cost optimization.
Service description
The Solution Architecture service provides comprehensive design and technical guidance for the implementation of ICT solutions, which often require the use of a range of technologies, respecting the various needs of availability, security, performance while ensuring optimization of investment and operating costs.
The Solution Architect becomes the final technical guarantor of the entire solution and minimizes the risk that the individual technologies will not form a single functional unit. This methodology ensures that the objectives of complex projects are clearly described and the optimal technical solution is evaluated.
The output of ALEF's Solution Architecture service is either the design of an optimal solution or its delivery, including technical project management. It also includes the design of the renewal or integration of complex resources for the technology. The Solution Architecture service describes and determines how to get to the target state in an optimal way, taking into account the complexity of the project.
The use of the Solution Architect role is nowadays becoming an integral part of modern ICT project management.
Who is the service for?
Medium and large organisations dealing with more challenging projects or development planning.
Main advantages of the service
The chosen solution optimally meets the requirements
The solution is consistent across different technology modules, thanks to a single technical project sponsor
Guarantee of the required functionality and cost optimisation
How the service is implemented and its flow
- Analysis of environments, applications, services, operating systems and end clients
- Development of recommendations for optimal safety configurations (baselines)
- Comparison of baselines and actual status
- Design of the steps leading to the achievement of the baselines
- Validation and debugging of the concept in a specific environment
- Implementation
- Client-side approval
- Support in the operation of platforms
- Informing about new opportunities within the baselines
- Repeated analyses of environmental deviations from baselines
