Info Systems Architecture
No reasonable investor would provide capital to build a building with a banker or doctor as the architect. If you need an app that's designed with the future in mind, team up with a highly experienced software architect. Consider the following:
- Think of the name of any blue chip company in the USA. I'll bet dollars to donuts that they're using numerous custom software systems that are 30-40 years old. I'll also bet that they didn't expect to be using the oldest of those systems for so long, and that they would have designed them far more carefully had they known their life spans back then. Don't allow your custom software to be thrown together haphazardly. Make a sound initial investment in technology so you don't have to have your systems disrupted by problems and rewrites for the next 20 years.
- Solid, experienced design creates a lower total cost of ownership in terms of development cost, and allows your software to scale, while providing more efficiency, speed, and opportunity to capitalize on the potential of quality software to allow you to capitalize on profit capture and recapture.
- A great coder is not a great architect. It doesn't matter how quickly or cheaply you can build the skyscraper if you have to tear it down in 5 years, displacing all its tenants and hemorrhaging revenues while in transition. I see this more often than perhaps any other problem, when I'm called in to add on to poorly designed data systems, or to completely rewrite disasters caused by poor design.
- You don't have to build an ivory palace with 24 carat gold bathroom fixtures. Just hire a seasoned software architect who will help you build a solid foundation for the future.
