Technology architecture - Concept
Target architecture
A picture of the intended future technology and data setup that is being designed or developed
What's it for?
Gives everyone a shared picture of the future technology setup the organisation is trying to reach.
For example…
A company with dozens of systems that connect directly to one another designs a target architecture where information can be shared through a smaller number of standard connections
After a merger, the target architecture shows which CRM, finance and data platforms the combined company intends to keep in three years' time
