Solution Architecture is comprised of three primary components:
◊ Requirements Gathering & Analysis
◊ Technology Identification & GAP Analysis
◊ System Selection
Together these components define a world-class methodology for the identification of the best technology solutions for your organization, regardless of the need.

Requirements Gathering & Analysis
According to a recent survey by the Standish Group1 of more than 352 companies reporting on more than 8,000 software projects:
◊ 31 percent of all software projects are canceled before they are completed
◊ 53 percent of projects cost 189 percent of their original estimate.
Additionally, nearly 37% of respondents to the Standish Group survey identified insufficient requirements gathering as the reason for project failure.
At Aligned Business Solutions, we believe that without strong requirements gathering the identification of the best technology solution for your needs is impossible. During our Solution Architecture phase, we will begin by gathering requirements related to a specific system or organization-wide requirements necessary to support your connected business.

Technology Identification & GAP Analysis
Once requirements have been gathered, our professionals will identify the best-of-breed technologies necessary to fulfill your requirements and perform a GAP Analysis on each identified solution. The GAP Analysis compares your organizations requirements to the technology's capabilities. The results of the GAP Analysis will be the clear definition of the requirements met by out-of-the-box solution capabilities verses the customizations necessary to achieve a successful deployment.

Technology Selection
The final phase of the technology assessment is to assist clients in the system selection process. Typical services provided here include:
◊ RFP development assistance
◊ Demonstration preparation & coordination
◊ Response review and consultation
Because of our knowledge of the existing technologies and your business requirements, Aligned professionals can assist you by providing insight into strengths and weaknesses that may exist in some technologies or proposals.
