Phase C: Information Systems Architectures

Objectives Steps Inputs Outputs

To develop Target Architectures for the Data and/or the Applications domains

For Data Architecture:
Define the types and sources of data needed to support the business, in a way that can be understood by the stakeholders

For Applications Architecture:
Define the kinds of application systems necessary to process the data and support the business

There are two steps in this phase, that may be developed in either order or parallel:
