Architecture and Design

Booz Allen Hamilton helps clients maximize the value of their IT investments through the design, development, and deployment of flexible, agile, and adaptable architectural blueprints and transitional roadmaps. Our services in this area include:

• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)—We help clients develop service-oriented architecture strategies, reference architectures, service specifications, and transitional roadmaps, and we develop and deploy reusable services across multiple clients and networks.
• Enterprise Architecture—We help clients with baselining and developing target application and systems architectures, segment architec­tures, technical architectures, data architectures, business architec­tures, and performance architec­tures. We also help them develop sequencing and transitional roadmaps using custom or industry frameworks such as the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF), federal enterprise architecture (FEA), and Zachman.
• Mission Engineering®—Mission engineering is a Booz Allen innovation for helping to ensure the success of our clients’ IT projects by addressing three major, inte­grated elements of the IT project engineering life cycle: the community (e.g., customers, suppliers, partners, technologies, capabilities, and information transactions) in which the solution will operate; the opera­tional activities and business needs of the organization that the solution will support; and the technical requirements of the solution.
