Our Architects have matured through waves of innovation as the industry evolved from doing holistic design, component models, and model driven architecture to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA lifecycle includes modeling, assembling, deployment, and management. Best practices have accumulated from systems engineers and building architects to nature itself. Deliverables typically include business, information, integration, application, and infrastructure architecture with associated services, components, relationships, and architecture decisions.
