Technology Roadmaps


Business drives the Enterprise Architecture which in turn provides the lay of the land for Technology Roadmaps.

 

Technology Roadmaps exist for each technological aspect supporting the enterprise.  The actual focus areas do vary based on companies needs.

 

Technical Roadmaps in areas such as:

  • Data management
  • Content management
  • Telephony
  • Data center
  • Messaging
  • Servers
  • Personal Computing

Provide the enterprise with managed purpose driven technology development in support of the enterprise.

 

Each Technology Roadmap provides it’s perspective of the following:

  • A consolidated view of the enterprise's business driven technology needs.
  • A consolidated view of business drivers, trends, challenges and opportunities.
  • Short and long term technology objectives.
  • Transition steps outlining organization and process change to move the enterprise from the current state to a long-term application and infrastructure architecture. An executable project based roadmap to support business objectives with technology.

Each Technology Roadmap iteration provides guidance for technology introduction, renewal and removal in the Enterprise.


The organization must be committed to renewing each Technology Roadmap on a regular basis, typically annually to correspond with the budget process.
