The conceptual architecture diagram should address the general direction of an organizational
architecture implementation and identify the major architectural components for the
technological environment and offer a coherent strategy for product selection and evaluation
efforts. Therefore, this diagram should lay out three levels of integration and collaboration initiatives
that call for a successful architecture initiative:
1. Identify technological asset ownership. The conceptual architecture diagram should
reflect the relationship21 between various business domains and their empowering technological
environments. This dependency is named ???technological ownership.???
2. Found technology stack. The time has come to identify and describe the various dependencies
between technological assets. This effort is one of depicting a technology stack
that illustrates a hierarchical relationship between the various organizational technical
components, such as applications, services, middleware, infrastructure, platforms, and
operating systems.
3. Establish architectural concepts. Finally, establish high-level architectural concepts that
describe the interaction and collaboration between various technological assets. Remember,
these concepts are the essence of the conceptual architecture diagram. Therefore, this
top layer should propose coherent solutions to resolve organizational problems.
