Most of the time organization want to share data but have hard time to choosing the proper sharing architecture for them. Here are some steps that will help them make the decide on the right sharing architecture:
1. Survey the Architecture Landscape: educate the user about what are the possible architecture: Centralized, Distributed, or Hybrid. Each one offers functionality like federated query or decision support.
2. Refine the Requirements: When requirements are vague try to ask the customer to narrow down the requirements. This can be done by telling the customer that based on your requirement you architecture will give you this result and create some use cases. These use case result will help customer understand what each architecture will give them.
3. Analyze the Dependencies: Once the requirements and outcomes are derived, we would need the understand the dependency of the systems. By analyzing the structure and components of the system this will give the customer an understanding of the complexity the system offers. And with increased complexity comes increased cost of choosing this architecture.
4. Recommend an Architecture: Based on the customer requirement and budget list of at three architecture for the customers and specify what each one offers.
By following these 4 steps, organization can choose the architecture solution that will best suit their enterprise instead of investing in an architecture that costs more and does not give desired results.
