IT architecture

An efficient operation of the IT systems requires a transparent IT architecture, which clearly defines the cooperation with the other applications, hardware and with the whole organizational environment. Well-structured IT architecture reduces the complexity of the systems, simplifies the cost optimization and allows faster deployment of the new applications. Linux Polska assists in the IT architecture development in accordance with industry’s best practices.

The IT architecture organizes all the company’s IT resources and also facilitates the cost estimation, designing and adding further applications and hardware components.

During the process of drafting the IT architecture it is important to consider all the architectural layers: business strategy, business applications, data integration, security, infrastructural services and hardware-system infrastructure.

Linux Polska offers services on the 3-levels of IT architecture:

  • enterprise architecture – covering the whole organization and oriented on achieving the business objectives;
  • solutions’ architecture – including the method of implementation of the new solutions and the means of interaction between layers and components;
  • applications’ technical architecture – describing the technical manner of application composition; used design paradigms; components’ division; utilized API’s, data transfers.

Why implement a modern IT architecture

  • Hardware limitations – low efficiency of the system operation within the existing infrastructure.
  • Increased cost of systems and applications maintenance – high license and hardware replacement cost.
  • Architecture constraints – problems in defining the requirements for new solutions and their cooperation with the existing IT environment.
  • Technological limitations – issues in providing compliance with the recently established technological requirements in the area of security, data flow optimization and interaction with other applications and external services.
  • Organizational constraints – issues in identification of responsibility for low efficiency and an inadequate service quality.

IT architecture – technical benefits

  • Management simplifying due to the reduction of the environment’s complexity.
  • Systems’ stability improvement thanks to the faster identification of the root cause of the problems.
  • Increased security through the increased transparency of the dataflow.
  • Precise technical objectives for the new solutions.
  • Efficient interaction between the applications and the infrastructure’s components.

IT architecture – business benefits

  • Full control of the IT environment in line with the company’s strategic objectives.
  • Controlling efficiency of particular IT areas.
  • Identifying areas for further cost optimization initiatives.
  • Providing an important tool for the business processes re-engineering (BPR).
  • Improving the communication of the IT team with the board and the party responsible for the budget formation and control.

Why to work with us in IT architecture

Competences

We operate in accordance with our 3 competence pillars:

  • deep knowledge of the IT architecture standards,
  • experience in large systems’ migration to the new architectures,
  • active participation in open source development and adoption.

Technology

Our approach to IT architecture design is based on multiple years of experience in Linux operating systems and open source software based solution development.

Experience in developing reliable and large-scale solutions

We have built the IT architecture for the largest companies from the financial, insurance and public administration sectors in Poland and internationally.

Open standards and development

We employ the open standards, ensuring our architectural solutions will be useful for many years. The new applications once developed will be able to use in full the advantages of openness, scalability and the complete data exchange with the other systems in the future.
