Technical Analysis & System Architecture

Technical decisions need business context.

Which system is responsible for which task? Where do dependencies arise? KAN Service connects these architecture questions with the business goals and requirements of your initiative.

The wider picture

Individual solutions affect the whole system.

A new interface changes the data flow. An additional business rule affects several applications. Higher availability requirements have consequences for error handling and operations.

Technical analysis brings these relationships into a shared picture. Business, architecture and development teams can then assess the consequences of an option and identify the questions still open before a decision.

Foundations for decisions

Understand systems. Assess options.

Depending on the task, the work produces overviews and decision materials that complement existing architecture work and connect it with the requirements.

01

System context and boundaries

A view of the systems involved, their roles and responsibilities, including relevant external dependencies.

02

Interfaces and data flows

An overview of who provides and processes which data, with requirements for timeliness, consistency and behaviour when errors occur.

03

Comparison of technical options

Alternatives assessed against business goals and quality requirements, such as availability, maintainability and integration effort.

04

Traceable decisions

Documented assumptions, trade-offs, risks and reasons for decisions, giving future changes a clear foundation.

From requirements to architecture

Architecture begins with analysis.

Terms such as “current”, “fast” or “available” leave considerable room for interpretation. The business need reveals which properties a solution actually requires. Requirements for data, interfaces and operations can then be derived from it.

This connection strengthens the primary offering in business analysis and requirements engineering. Where needed, KAN Service also takes on a more architecture-focused role within the existing project team.

Suitable situations

When technical analysis helps.

Clarification is particularly valuable before assumptions become embedded in interfaces and implementations.

  • 01Before architecture decisions that affect several systems
  • 02When responsibilities, data flows or interfaces are unclear
  • 03When business requirements create or conceal technical complexity
  • 04When an existing system landscape needs to be understood for a new initiative
