Technology Architecture
Technology architecture selects and organizes platforms, infrastructure, applications, and technical patterns to serve the operating model plus security, performance, and scalability requirements.
Explanation
It decides what to build versus buy, how technical layers are arranged, and which standards apply. Technology follows operating needs—not the reverse.
Business context
Executive technology decisions need a clear link to value, risk, and dependencies—especially when choosing between packaged platforms and custom build.
Frequently asked questions
- Is technology strategy only a long-term plan?
