Solutions Design
As software and systems engineering has matured, it has become accepted that there is a clear need for an "architectural view" of your Information Systems Infrastructure. This has grown as a result of increasing complexity of systems and their interactions within and between businesses.
Furthermore, continued pressure to reduce IT costs and deliver real and quantifiable business benefits from solutions necessitate a clear understanding of how systems support and enable the business.
Understanding these objectives drives our success and, as a result, our clients look to us to provide their solutions design. Diaxion offers the following services in solutions architecture design:
- Solutions design creation/maintenance
- Solutions design due diligence
- Solutions design cost compilation
- Technical risk analysis and profiling
Solutions design creation/maintenance
With vast experience in designing highly available, high performance IT solutions, Diaxion is able to consider all areas of the solution creation and reduce the likelihood of uncertainties later in the development / deployment life cycle, thereby resulting in a lower risk project.
By working with your business team (including architects and security experts), Diaxion ensures that the end to end solution is in compliance with your business strategy, policies, existing infrastructure and best practices. In addition Diaxion will document any departure from policy and access governance and operating model impacts.
As development and deployment of the solution progresses, there may be a need to vary the solution to meet changing business requirements. Diaxion can assist with the maintenance of the solution by reviewing the changes and modifying the architecture design and associated documentation as required.
Solutions design due diligence
Diaxion can review your solution design from all aspects e.g. security, operational, architectural, contractural, by utilising our internal expertise and experiences as a baseline. This review documents the perceived risks and concerns affecting the project / design. Recommendations are made where major concerns are found.
Solutions design cost compilation
In addition to the solution design creation, Diaxion can compile the associated designs cost model to assist you with your budget requirements. The cost compilation will include items such as software licensing, hardware and technical resource effort estimation (i.e. how many days to install, to configure, for the equipment to be delivered once ordered, etc).
Technical risk analysis and profiling
Diaxion can review your solution design from many aspects: security; operational; contractural; SLA; roles and responsibilities; technical; and compliance. This review will document the perceived project associated risks and recommended additional analysis to you. Based on the documentation, Diaxion will propose mitigants to minimise the risks, which are scaled upon impact and assist the development of an action plan to manage or remove the risk. To carry out this work, Diaxion has a proven eight-step risk assessment methodology as illustrated.
