Technical Architecture GuideEstablish the evolving technical blueprint and accompanying guidelines to manage the integration and interoperability of the old with the new across the HS AgencyThis guide defines the key activities, artifacts, and roles that are necessary to create and maintain a Technical Architecture for the HS Agency. The HS Agency's Technical Architecture guides the HS Agency's activities for the definition, purchase, creation, modification, integration, deployment, operation, and retirement of the technical infrastructure and the supported applications. It affects both technical management and engineering practices in use within the HS Agency. The Technical Architecture is described in a comprehensive set of reference materials, called the A-TARS. The A-TARS provides guidance for system design and development staff during all phases of the application systems life cycle. This includes the standard technologies and practices needed to support three typical environments: business (HS programs such as TANF, development (software engineering and management practices), and operations (administration and support). See the Organization of the IT Planning and Management Guides for the relationship of the Technical Architecture processes described in this guide with those of the other guides. Background on the fundamental concepts and principles upon which the approach is based is also available. For information on how to customize this guidance view the Application of the IT Planning and Management Guides pages . Technical Architecture Background
Technical Architecture Guide Resources - A consolidated set of items that can be used to implement the activities defined in this guide are listed in the consolidated resources.
