Phase C – Information Systems Architecture

- The Identification of any Architecture Road-map Components based on a gap analysis

Data Architecutre
The main objective of the Data Architecture is to determine the sources and types of data that will be required to support the organisation or business. It is imperative that the Data Architecture should be able to be easily understood by any stakeholders.
Application Architecture
The main objective of the Application Architecture is to determine the specific types of systems that will be required to process any data and to support the organisation or business.
