typical situation and problems

Dead structure?

Systems cannot evolve gracefully

Technology expensive and heavy (slow to change)

Incoherent interfaces?

Low connectivity

Complicated and inefficient

Inconvenient gaps and overlaps

Poor value components?

Unfriendly

Obsolete functionality

Obsolete technology

Low quality

Lack of alignment?

Applications don’t fit the business processes

Applications don’t exploit technological opportunity

Poor legacy leverage?

High maintenance costs

Little direct business benefit from maintenance spend

Infrastructure dilemma?

‘Quick fix’ versus ‘strategic investment’

Accounting mechanisms are infrastructure-unfriendly

  • project funding
  • cost allocation

benefits

The Business Enterprise: enhance strategic alignment & advantage

The Business Process or Requirement: enhance opportunity

The Systems Architecture or Design: enhance flexibility

The Software Component: enhance quality & value-for-money
