One of the challenges is recognizing when technology matters at the architecture level.
Much as the boundaries of building architecture were extended by advances in technologies (rolled/cast steel, rivets to welding, etc.) so too can business systems take on new forms that were too expensive or not even possible before the new technology. So which technologies are architecturally significant in SO architecture definition? Programming languages, message busses, data formats, etc. seem to be old news. Welding (replacing the use of rivets) allowed building architects to envision very different buildings and much taller buildings. What are the equivalent IT-related technologies that dramatically change the face of business/IT architecture? Surely it isn't ESBs, registries/repositories, and "governance" tools. -Rob --- In [email protected], Gregg Wonderly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ...technology will always matter. > > I think it is short sighted and pretty naive to try and suggest > otherwise. > > Gregg Wonderly
