Can Annex work with a mixed or legacy technical landscape rather than starting again from scratch?

Can Annex work with a mixed or legacy technical landscape rather…

Yes, that can be possible; Annex's published work includes delivery inside existing technical and organisational environments rather than only greenfield builds. The purpose of this project was to develop a Digital collaboration solution for the incident response team where provisioning is simple, fast and electronic with appropriate security and access to both internal and external users, and helps track the decision process even post-event with the solution need to be compliant with relevant NAA policies for records management. With the need for rapid development and deployment, as well as the ability to have a coordinated content publishing workflow with governance, the Annex team worked with GovCMS to setup a new website on the GovCMS SaaS platform in under 24 hours. The sensible starting point is to identify what already works, what is constraining the service, and where integration or incremental change is safer than unnecessary replacement. The answer for a mixed or legacy technical landscape would depend on its actual condition and dependencies.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current scope, specifications, compatibility, availability, pricing, timing and next steps should be confirmed directly with Annex where they affect a decision.

Previous questionWhat does Solution Architecture mean in the way Annex approaches digital work?

Annex treats Solution Architecture as part of a wider digital-service problem, not as an isolated output. Architecture that connects business needs, user experience, technology, security and delivery constraints. The resulting design system is now available and being used for the ActewAGL developmen…

Annex approaches joining user needs, business rules and technology into a workable solution by combining the disciplines needed to test both desirability and feasibility. The resulting design system is now available and being used for the ActewAGL development and design teams to guide and speed up t…

Annex uses evidence during delivery rather than treating quality as a final inspection step.

The connection matters because systems, security, integrations, delivery constraints and future change influence the same end-to-end experience. The resulting design system is now available and being used for the ActewAGL development and design teams to guide and speed up the delivery of their ongoi…

Annex's published work does not point to a single mandatory toolset for solution architecture. Using Drupal 8 and its multilingual capability, the team created a website that can automatically translate English content into over 64 languages using google translate, and also allow manual human transl…
