The core products perspective represents an architecture family
that tackles the ???What do we sell???? organizational concern. This perspective introduces fundamental
definitions and generalization of the enterprise??™s core products that are associated with
the various lines of business and domains. For example, insurance institution core products may
include auto insurance, life insurance, small-business liability insurance, and more.
The core products perspective also represents technical architectures that enable a variety
of systems in vital fields of business interest, such as transaction implementations, analytical
reporting, content management, and data services that typically support data analysis or knowledge
base??“oriented repositories. Moreover, the core products perspective introduces opportunities for
reusability and the consolidation of technical architectures. This can be achieved by inspecting
the business architecture taxonomy structure (as discussed in the introduction to Part Four) and
the corresponding technical architecture implementations.
The various technical architectures that support core products in an organization can be
anchored in a variety of software design principles and architectural patterns. These are reusable
building templates and best practices that facilitate an enterprise??™s common technological language.
Moreover, patterns offer repeatable implementation standards and design structures that
can enable rapid architecture construction.
