This paper explains architectural technology from the viewpoints of information, the application, technology and business. The author points out that Compaq suggests that one way to improve revenues is to reduce the cost of technology by making the layouts easier to read. The paper reports that Intergov suggests that businesses can be successful if they communicate their ideas well, endorse the principles, review the requirements, investigate several launch service renewal products and open a government-wide information infrastructure project. Many long quotations, well cited.

From the Paper:

"I also believe that we need to discuss the business principles in architecture. First of all, like all businesses, the client is the most important. Without them, there would be no architectural company. So the "client needs should drive the design of these services". The second most important is the employees who are working for the architectural company. Again, without them there wouldn't be a company. We wouldn't have anyone to do the work. So "employees' involvement, development, and commitment are critical to successful business renewal". The third thing is reducing the workload. They call this "Common Shareable Solutions". Common requirements will be addressed by common shareable solutions. The fourth factor in business is partnership."
