Decide on solution architecture

Purpose

The decision on solution architecture forms the prerequisite for the development or parameterization of systems.

Basic idea

The decision on solution architecture confirms conformity with the IT architecture of the core organization.

HERMES-specific

Before the decision is made, the solution architecture is checked by the responsible controlling and compliance bodies.

In the case of procurement (i.e., adaptation) of a system, the solution architecture is reviewed before and after evaluation. This is because the tender chosen may result in an adaptation of the solution architecture.
