Technology architecture ensures that the organization's IT systems have a strong, reliable technological foundation.

Meeting business requirements

Technology architecture translates business requirements into technical specifications and ensures that the systems are designed and implemented to meet those requirements.

Providing a concrete view

Technology architecture provides a more concrete view of how application components will be deployed and realized.

Evaluating responses to constraints

Technology architecture helps evaluate how well an organization responds to constraints, such as by estimating hardware and network sizing needs.

Ensuring business integration

Technology architecture ensures that the application components work together and support the required business integration
