Defining the technical design and architecture of a portal solution can be an extremely complex activity. Many technical components must work cohesively to harness the foundational requirements (e.g., security, personalization, search, transaction integration, content publishing, and collaboration) that need to be leveraged across business solutions.

As part of our Technical Architecture and Design services, LDS collaborates with client IT organizations to review the portal architecture, identify gaps (as related to supporting LDS' Portal Design), and develop an approach to remediate these gaps. We define a high-level technical design for the solution, ensuring that requirements have been met and gaps have been mitigated, while describing necessary solution components for the implementation design and specification to occur.

Value

LDS’ Technical Architecture and Design services enable organizations to ensure the portal solution:

• Proves reliable and scalable
• Maximizes existing technology investments
• Meets existing and planned business requirements.

Duration

Determined by project scope.

Deliverables

Deliverables associated with LDS' Technical Architecture and Design services typically include the following:

• Description of the current and “to be” portal technology state, including relevant software, services and foundational requirements
• Map of required system capabilities to platform capabilities and implementation approaches
• Proof of Concept to validate the architecture and identify issues that require remediation.
