The need for IT architecture has been growing over the last two decades. Looking at the historic view of how information technology systems were developed, it started by replacing paper based and manual processes.
Computers were able to perform tasks and processes faster and cheaper resulting in more process automation. However, initial use of technology did not have much of an architecture as we know it today. As organizations grew in size and processes become more complex, the dependency on technology and the need for proper design and
architecture was needed.
Large organizations began to realize that IT systems were getting out of control as they grew larger in size and it was time to put in place IT architecture discipline to govern the way systems were implemented and managed. There is a point where one becomes so dependent on technology and need architecture for running mission critical systems.
IT architecture can provide effective management of complex systems, reduce cost through standardization, manage design risks, used as a tool for proper documentation of systems, used as a high level communication tool through architecture blueprints, improve systems quality, increase project delivery success through proper design, and manage systems complexity and scalability.
