Statewide Architecture Framework

North Carolina citizens have increasing expectations for performance and demand greater accountability and viewing of results. Additionally, state government must accommodate change quickly, do more with less, and increase visibility and accessibility both within and outside government.

Governance of standards, strategies, and architecture roadmaps in all areas of the framework domains will focus on compliance review and yield greater possible value from investments in information technology. The Statewide Architecture Framework provides guidance for development, implementation, and integration of business systems, business information, and technology to deliver efficient business capabilities throughout state government. The framework also facilitates enterprise project management and approval, sourcing decision for solutions and technology, and strategic business planning.
