Selecting an architecture, whether that be for a new application or the newest strategic component for your organization, can be very confusing. The comparison of the different factors in the competing options is very seldom an “apples to apples” evaluation, since the feature sets are by their nature normally dissimilar. Solitaire can help with this problem in several ways. SIL Architectural Selection modeling takes the requirements of your organization into account, and combines that with the characteristics of the possible architectural choices. While this evaluation matrix would be a good mechanism for normal evaluation, Solitaire goes one step further in that the SIL heuristic database is also mined for experiential data.

The incorporation of the SIL heuristic data allows the addition of information from real-world usage, I.e., actual costs, time frames, problems, abandonment rates, etc., that add another, critically important set of factors to the decision matrix. With this additional data, a more informed selection can be made, fully aware of possible risks.

The addition of Solitaire in your architectural selection, whether that be for a new ERP system, hardware components or development tools, increases the speed of decision-making, as well as reduces the overall costs of that selection. Let Solitaire help you make the right choice.
