Develop target architectures, and to define the types and sources of data needed to support the business, in a way that can be understood by the stakeholders, and define the kinds of application systems necessary to process the data and support the business.

Important deliverables in this phase include (but are not limited to) statement of architecture work, baseline data architecture, target data architecture, baseline applications architecture, target applications architecture. Examples of reports which can be generated, depending on the project, are data architecture report, applications architecture report, gap analysis results, impact analysis, and updated business requirements.

Establish baseline and develop target IT architecture

Describe current installed technology architecture and components, and envision future technology building blocks and architecture needed to support target capabilities.

Perform a gap analysis

What building blocks and capabilities are lacking from current technology baseline in order to build the target IT architecture.

Develope a technology roadmap

What projects are needed in order to build the future IT architecture, and in which order do we execute them?  What dependencies, technologic and organisational, influence the raodmap?

Legal

What laws apply to and regulate technology domains, and what are appropriate levels of security measures to protect assets? How do these concerns apply to each fase of the framework, and how do we secure consistency among them?
