Application Architecture

Developing application architecture to fit your environment.

In order to develop solutions that will be best suited for your organization, the solution development team can develop application architecture to fit your environment. According to the Microsoft Development Network (MSDN), an architecture is the “fundamental organization of a system, embodied in its components, their relationship to each other and the environment, and the principles governing its design and evolution”1 - that is, how your systems work together.

When designing application architecture, the team at iomer uses four perspectives to govern their outlook:

The business perspective describes how your business works, including strategies for moving the organization into their desired state.

The application perspective describes how your systems and technology works, including describing how services will support your intended business processes.

The information perspective describes how your data works, including standardizing data models and management processes.

The technology perspective describes how your infrastructure will work, including hardware and software that will support your business processes.
