Why is it useful to create Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain?
According to the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework, which is a methodology and toolset by the German multinational software company SAP that helps enterprise architects define and implement an architecture strategy for their organizations, Transition Architectures are intermediate states between the Baseline Architecture (the current situation) and the Target Architecture (the desired future state). Transition Architectures describe how to move from one state to another in a feasible and manageable way, taking into account the constraints and dependencies of the project. Transition Architectures are useful for structuring complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications. Some applications/solutions depend on the existence of others, meaning that they cannot be implemented or operated without the presence or functionality of other applications/solutions. For example, a new application that relies on data from an existing application, or an existing application that needs to be integrated with a new application. By creating Transition Architectures, enterprise architects can:
Define and prioritize the sequence and timing of the changes and rollouts that are needed to achieve the Target Architecture.
Identify and mitigate the risks and issues that might arise during the transition process, such as technical, operational, or organizational challenges.
Communicate and align with the stakeholders and sponsors of the project, such as business owners, users, developers, vendors, etc.
Monitor and control the progress and performance of the project, and ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of the project.
Transition Architectures are useful in the Application Architecture domain because they can help to structure complex application architectures that require multiple changes of existing interdependent applications and/or the rollout of new applications.
In some cases, it may be possible to make changes to existing applications independently of each other. However, in many cases, changes to one application will require changes to other applications. This is because applications often depend on each other for data or functionality.
Transition Architectures can help to identify these dependencies and to plan the changes to the applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business. They can also help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.
The following are some of the benefits of using Transition Architectures in the Application Architecture domain:
They can help to improve the visibility of complex application architectures.
They can help to identify dependencies between applications.
They can help to plan the changes to applications in a way that minimizes the impact on the business.
They can help to ensure that the changes are made in a consistent and orderly fashion.
Therefore, Transition Architectures can be a valuable tool for managing complex application architectures.
As an Enterprise Architect, you must ensure that future extensions to the Digital Core of the enterprise guarantee stable and reliable operations. The architecture guideline demands to follow the clean-core strategy. What does this demand ensure and entail?
The CIO of Wanderlust strongly feels that the seldom-used legacy Marketing application cannot be the platform to rejuvenate their online marketing business. As Chief Enterprise Architect, the CIO has entrusted you with the responsibility of finding a suitable replacement that can support all current processes and also address the issues plaguing the existing application. Which of the following should you do to conclusively shortlist possible applications to replace the existing one? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.
Starting with the current processeswill help to understand the capabilities that are needed in a new application. This will help to narrow down the field of potential applications and identify those that are most likely to meet the needs of Wanderlust.
Mapping business capabilities to these processeswill help to identify the gaps in the current capabilities and the areas where improvement is needed. This will help to ensure that the new application meets the needs of Wanderlust and addresses the issues plaguing the existing application.
Relating Wanderlust processes to industry standard processeswill help to identify applications that are already being used by other organizations. This can be a good way to ensure that the new application is compatible with other systems and that it can be easily integrated with existing systems.
The other two options, Comparing the costs of those market leading online marketing applications and Understanding the features of leading online marketing applications available in the market through product demonstrations and ranking the applications in terms of features, are not as critical at this stage. The costs of the applications can be compared once the shortlist of applications has been finalized. The features of the applications can be understood through product demonstrations once the shortlist has been finalized.
Therefore, the best course of action is to start with the current processes, map business capabilities to these processes, and identify which application(s) in the market can deliver such capabilities. This will help to narrow down the field of potential applications and identify those that are most likely to meet the needs of Wanderlust.
Here are some of the benefits of taking a process-centric approach to selecting a new marketing application:
It can help to ensure that the new application meets the needs of the business.
It can help to identify applications that are already being used by other organizations.
It can help to ensure that the new application is compatible with other systems and that it can be easily integrated with existing systems.
