As the scope of software increases with an organization, software architecture gets lot of attention. It is critical to today's business success and each business requires technical and business skills to incorporate architecture into software.

Software systems are built to satisfy an organization's requirements or assumed requirements in case of software products. These requirements dictate the system's performance, availability, security, compatibility with other systems and the ability to accommodate change over lifetime. Software architecture helps the desire to satisfy these goals with good design choices.

Architecture gives a high Return on Investment

We believe that a software architecture is the development product that gives the highest return on investment with respect to quality, schedule, and cost. If architecture appears early in a product's lifetime, getting it right sets the stage for everything to come – the system's development, integration, testing, and modification. Getting it wrong means that the fabric of the system is wrong, and it cannot be fixed by weaving in a few new threads or pulling out a few existing ones, which often causes the entire fabric to unravel. And compared to other development activities, analyzing architectures is inexpensive. Hence, architectures give a high return on investment because decision made for the architectures have substantial downstream consequences and because checking and fixing architecture is relatively inexpensive.

Architecture Reuse

We strongly believe that re-use is achieved best within an architectural context. Components are not the only artifacts that can be re-used. Re-use of an architecture leads to the creation of families of systems, which in turn leads to new organizational structures and new business opportunities.

Infrastructures like .Net, J2EE and EJB try to standardize architectural approaches across organizations.

As part of our Design Consultancy group we provide the following services related to Architecture
