The state of enterprise architecture
Welcome to InfoWorld’s crystallization of the ideal enterprise, a prism with seven architectural views: secure, process-driven, pervasive, service-oriented, data-centric, needs-based, and open
Data-centric architectures
Enterprises are increasingly focused on unifying their enterprisewide data and designing architectures to maximize the usefulness and accessibility of that data
Process-driven architectures
Enterprises are tailoring their architectures to the key business processes that they must support and comply with
Secure architectures
Enterprises are increasingly designing security into every aspect of their systems from the get-go, rather than retroactively
Lightweight and open architectures
Enterprises are using cheap, lightweight components and open source software to address large-scale challenges
Pervasive architectures
Enterprise environments are being designed for anytime, anywhere access to company resources, apps, and data
Service-oriented architectures
Enterprises are leveraging the SOA model to lay the groundwork for a more efficient and flexible IT future
Needs-based architectures
Enterprises must provide different levels of service to different users according to need and assign the right resources dynamically
