Architecture & Technology:     
		
		
    	
    Next to requirements, Architecture has been the contributing factors for failed IT projects. 
    
        
    - Don't fall in line with Business architectures. 
- Most architecture lacks resiliency & Vision resulting in very fast retiring IT Systems. 
- Are brittle and fails to meet the changing needs. 
 
   
    Summit's Architecture Engineering team offers: 
    
        
    - Well defined process for transferring Requirements to Analysis. 
- Architecture steps for making transition from Analysis to Design. 
- Architecture decision making and third party/ component identification. 
- Well defined process for transferring Analysis to design using architectural decisions.
- Applying design patterns. 
Outcome:    
    - Baselined Architecture - This demonstrates critical scenarios, significant central functionality of the IT System based on which continuity of the development effort can be decided.  
- Analysis & Design Models using standard notations like UML & Object Technology.
- Reusable Mechanisms and Patterns. 
- Pattern & Framework Repositories.
