Understanding your direction and intended destination is critical for putting together an initiative. There are many complex and interrelated parts to creating the solution architecture, including impacted people and processes, new technologies, and vendor involvement. Understanding the picture,  assembling the tools needed for painting, and estimating budgets to complete it are critical to your success.

For example, services may include in-depth guidance on:

• Platform architecture
• Data strategy and architecture
• Data management, master data, data quality, and privacy
• Journey mapping
• Requirements capture
• Vendor and package selection
• Change management planning
• RFI/RFP development and review

Solution Architecture is tightly woven with Solution Delivery Management, but are typically thought of distinctly. Within agile organizations, solution architecture is built upon best practices and intended to be adaptable and scalable.
