We help determine strategies for using information technology and then help turn these ideas into money - for you and your shareholders PROTECTING THE INVESTMENT A well-planned IT architecture protects the significant investments made in technology deployments while enabling the IT organization to achieve the balance between competency and contribution. An architecture approach protects the organization’s IT investment through intelligent planning, appropriate use of technology standards and adaptive flexibility while ensuring reliability and security – key elements of IT service competency. Poor architecture results in order-of-magnitude cost increases in your IT investments, delays in project schedules, and poor flexibility to adapt to the rapid pace of technology change. Adea's experience in architecture planning services will help your organization avoid the common pitfalls associated with otherwise poor architectures. The Adea approach to IT architecture focuses on three key elements: Application Architecture If you are building and maintaining your own business systems and technology infrastructure, application architecture must be a core competency of your IT organization. Good application architecture makes systems more understandable and therefore manageable. Partitioning systems intelligently, creating well-defined interfaces between system components and building these components in a way that facilitates flexibility…this is the essence of application architecture. Information Architecture Adea’s approach to information architecture ensures information sharing across organizational as well as functional boundaries. By developing the correct information framework to describe logical and organizational structure and the guidelines required to protect the information assets of the enterprise, Adea’s approach to IT architecture enables the foundation for long-term information growth, an absolute necessity in the information age. Systems Architecture Through systems design and deployment - with emphasis on performance, security, reliability, and availability – Adea helps our clients through the complex choices required for designing high-performance system environments.   Big enough to Deliver, small enough to Care!
