Phase C-B: Solutions Building Block Development & Procurement

Phase C-B carries out the solutions development and procurement of solutions.

Detailed design of the building blocks will require skilled expertise from IT Designers, Business Designers, and Solutions Architects.

The purpose of Phase C-B is to ensure that the Solution Building Blocks that are developed and procured adhere to the enterprise architecture objectives.

Objectives

The objectives of Phase C-B are to:

• Ensure enterprise Solutions Building Blocks meet the enterprise architecture requirements

• Support IT Designers and ensure architecture compliance

• Populate the Enterprise Continuum

Approach
