Assessing your IT architecture
Assessing your IT architecture on a regular basis is critical, especially if you're planning to upgrade to Windows Vista. In fact, it's important to perform an IT architectural assessment before setting out to upgrade any aspect of your system. Simply put, an IT architectural assessment involves collecting and analyzing data about the current state of the enterprise architecture and using that information to draw conclusions about how well it supports the enterprise. An IT architectural assessment helps clarify how the current architecture contributes to perceived business problems and goals, provides hard facts about the costs and benefits of the current IT architecture, and identifies where redesign could reduce costs and improve functionality/efficiency.
