Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. What architecture will be optimal for enabling that business vision? How are we going to deliver the new architecture?

Architecture modernization initiatives are strategic efforts involving many teams, usually for many months or years. An AMET is an architecture Enabling Team that helps to coordinate and upskill all teams and stakeholders involved in a modernization initiative. They need a more loosely coupled architecture and empowered teams.

Having just concluded participation in another In-Memory Computing Summit , it has become even more clear to me that the key to mainstream adoption of in-memory computing software platforms is architecture — the root of a platform’s value to applications. These priorities tend to push the architecture to the back burner.

I’ve heard the opinion from many technical leaders that it is reasonable to expect a new hire to take upto 6 months to learn about the code, the domain, and the architecture before they become fully productive. I believe that self-documenting architecture would dramatically reduce one of the big costs in software development.
