Notes

1. A Systems-Architecture usually applies across a division or an entire organization.

2. A Systems-Architecture varies in its Level of detail depending on its maturity and what is required of it. Different organizational cultures will require different things. The main point is that a Systems-Architecture should be cost-effective.

3. The aims of a Systems-Architecture could include:
• imparting technical Strategy
• sharing best practices
• ensuring specific Standards are adhered to (for example, security)
• avoiding duplication of effort
• reducing Risk by promoting tried and trusted information
• encouraging recognition and use of Standard interfaces
• promoting reuse
• ensuring compatibility of data structures amongst Systems
• achieving economies of Scale through Standard platforms (especially for training, support and maintenance)

4. Individual Systems will have their own Architecture (Architecture *192), which will adhere to any relevant mandatory Systems-Architecture.
