Design and Architecture

MethodologyDesign and Architecture is the second phase of the Govplace methodology. Design and Architecture includes the following steps and actions.

Build

  • Conceptual model of solution is developed with clearly identified link between project goals and solution components
  • Simplifies business case considerations for investments and ensures right-sizing of the technical solution up front
  • Customized COTS solutions provide the benefit of proven technology and alignment with standards with a cost efficient implementation option to address core business needs
  • Our highly experienced professional services engineers will design a solution to fit your exact needs

Review

  • Using your objective definition, Govplace will review the design with your engineers for accuracy and completion
  • Acceptance criteria include complete component by component review of the solution as measured against the defined success criteria and project requirements/restrictions
  • Thorough evaluation of the identified risks and risk mitigation strategies

Revise

  • The review / revise process is repeated until we have a deployment plan that fits your needs
  • Our methodology requires that each element of the solution is examined to the component level to ensure alignment with standards and objectives

Signoff

  • One last review of, all parties’, expectations before signoff ensures a successful implementation
  • Signoff on the design provides a detailed blueprint and project plan for implementation
  • Management against implementation timelines, solution functionality and delivery milestones becomes simple by measuring against expected outcomes
     
    • Shortfalls are readily apparent

Over-delivery relative to expectations can likewise be identified
