Introduction
The CIT architecture inventory is a listing of major technologies and architectural components that are being used in CIT. Information is provided by Architecture Inventory Representatives -- individuals identified by each division's CCDAT representative as being "technology owners" within that division. The Architecture Inventory Representatives are asked to provide a three year outlook/forecast on each of the technologies and/or architectural components they are responsible by classifying each -- on a quarterly basis -- into one of the following six categories:
Key |
Meaning |
---|---|
R |
Research - Technology may be under evaluation and is not being used in production |
P |
Pilot - Technology approved for small-scale production use only. |
I |
Invest - Technology recommended for wide-spread deployment. |
M |
Maintain - New implementations are not encouraged. Existing systems may continue to rely upon these components and extend existing implementations. Product may be maintained but not planned for upgrades except bug fixes. |
D |
Disinvest - Technology is in the process of being phased out. |
U |
Unsupported - Technology is not advised for use in production systems. |
Procedure
Every quarter, the appointed Architecture Inventory Representatives in each division should update the page (or pages) they are responsible for in the matrix below. The first time the page is updated, a full three year forecast must be entered, but subsequent quarters the pages will be modified to allow for the addition of one quarter to the existing forecast.
