Architecture Misunderstanding

Posted by   Bert Engelbrecht


A continuous problem that customers experience is the lack of understanding of what business benefits architecture represent. A classical example is that customer's IT/IS divisions deploy a Master Information System Planning (MISP) project. This requires that control over all three architecture layers have to be established, from which the MISP will be derived. In this case eighty percent of the funding of the project is utilised for the establishment of control over architecture and only twenty percent of the project cost actually delivers IT/IS benefits. The original eighty percent funding is actually an investment from which the entire business can derive benefit, although IT/IS is funding the whole.
