RDS have developed a strong architecture capability composed of a dedicated team of IT Enterprise and Solution Architects. This capability can assist clients in several areas:

• Strategy Definition - We have extensive experience in developing IT Strategies to help organisations achieve their strategic goals. This is established on a Strategy Delivery Approach based on three phases to:
  • Understand the current and future state needs
  • Develop the future state covering initiatives, conceptual architecture, and IT operating model
  • Define the strategy through identifying the road map actions and provide high-level time and cost estimates.
• Architecture Framework Development - Our Architects can assist an organisation in developing a framework to define and manage the delivery of a solution architecture for a project. This capability covers:
  • Overarching principles that govern the decisions to be made as part of developing an architecture;
  • Templates for the definition and creation of a solution;
  • An architecture repository definition to store and manage architecture artefacts; and
  • Tools to assist in solution estimation
• Architecture Patterns - The identification and development of architecture patterns ensures solutions are developed consistently and maximises the re-use of existing assets, which reduces complexity and administrative overhead.
• Solution Architecture Definition - Specific solution architectures can be created as part of a wider RDS project or as a standalone engagement, from existing RDS templates or from artefacts specifically required by our clients.
• Architecture Reviews - Reviews of existing solutions will typically be performed against the primary Business, Application, Data and Technology characteristics of the architecture.
