Architecture Insight Day 2 Session #1: Enabling Business Flexibility

As with my other posts these are just some thoughts.

Flexibility comes from having modules/systems/solution that have a limited set of dependencies. Where there are dependencies they are abstracted and well understood.

One of the huge challenges that face infrastructures is that the number of dependencies is increasing all the time. It’s one thing to talk about this issue in the application space, it’s another to talk about it down into the infrastructure. The challenge is that the infrastructure is probably changing more frequently that the applications in most businesses.

Do we have strategies for correctly sized components in the infrastructure.
