Executive Summary

Application architecture is the subset of enterprise architecture that focuses on the world of application delivery teams and enterprise application architects. It structures the three major questions that application delivery teams must answer as they provision and maintain a complete body of applications: What applications should we deliver? What technologies should we use to deliver them? How can we design, deploy, and integrate applications in the most cost-effective and flexible way? Whether your dominant application sourcing strategy is buy, build, or rent, your application delivery teams can increase their effectiveness with organized and consistent answers to these questions, and application architecture is the way to get there.
