Logical Architecture
Reusability Best Practices
Discovers asset reusability
1. Encourage loosely coupled distributed
environment
2. Establish service publishing, searching, and
discovery capabilities
3. Increase asset visibility by simplifying
technological environment and eliminating
roadblocks such as unnecessary security barriers,
intermediaries, or proxies
4. Avoid functionality redundancy by consolidating
organizational assets
Identifies asset dependencies
Assists with the service consumption and
capacity planning
Avoid tightly coupled technological asset
associations
Craft an organizational asset capacity, utilization,
and consumption strategy

but delivers elaborate household information. Such a lucrative service contribution can attract a
considerable number of consumers, which may increase its popularity among lines of business. But
the more consumers that a service draws, the more dependent its operating environment becomes.
Thus, remember that a logical architecture reusability perspective identifies dependencies between
packaged service solutions, third-party vendor products, operating systems, middleware, and even
legacy applications.
A logical architecture asset utilization diagram provides an overall view of the dependency
and capacity aspects of technological assets.
