Agile Architecture Makes Business Innovation Possible | Advice and Opinion

Agile Architecture Makes Business Innovation Possible Advice and Opinion: "Let’s admit it; we often don't have a clear idea of what's going to happen next; the world keeps changing; companies have to keep trying new ideas if they're going to be innovative. But we don’t know which ideas are going to succeed and which ones are going to flop. Innovation is by definition unpredictable.
So what do we do in the face of all this uncertainty? What we're going to do is learn to use IT architecture in an agile manner. This means learning to use all the new stuff that has come of age in the last 36 months: SaaS; Open Source; SOA; Agile Programming; and Consumer Electronics. Think about ways to mix this with your existing installed base of legacy and packaged applications; that’s how you create agile architecture."
