Creating architectures and solutions that consider both business perspectives and applies technologies is a complicated job. Such designs covers more than one business roles and and more that one skill set for the people involved. A key point is that persons involved should look upon a solution based on their professional role using their own familiar vocabulary, otherwise it may become to complicated to absorb and understand.

A common way to look at architectures and solutions is to divide problem domain into two parts; the business operations view and the functional services view . Where the first perspective addressed business concerns and the second looks at how to functionally implement the business. In order to address the business operation view a specific set of tools, techniques and methodologies are used and through a series of translations, mappings a functional solution is derived. In order to realize the chosen solution any one of several families of technologies may be used and in large organizations many, many families of technologies is used thus creating legacy and integration problems.

The following diagram shows one example of how business goals and strategies, in a series of steps, can be translated into applied technologies.

Beware ; the diagram covers a lot of details that most business professionals to need to know. It is a sample diagram for architects and designers.
