Architecture Review

Does your existing WebSphere MQ implementation comply with established best practices? Are you getting the most from the WebSphere MQ systems you have? Is your MQ environment manageable? MQSoftware’s WebSphere MQ Architecture Review can tell you.

A Senior MQSoftware Architect will review your existing implementation for best practice compliance including disaster recovery, security, promotion and version control, application and system architecture, application coding practices, and problem management. Based on this review, the Consultant will make recommendations for improvement and compile this information into a formal document containing the recommendations and plans for their implementation.

Architecture Review deliverables:

  • Documentation of the existing WebSphere MQ environment including disaster recovery, security, promotion and version control, application and system architecture, application coding practices, and problem management.
  • A formal Findings Document describing compliance of your existing practices and environment with established best practices in the WebSphere MQ community.
  • Recommendations for Improvement of the existing environment and practices.
  • Proposed Implementation plans for each of the primary recommendations.

Architecture Review prerequisites:

  • Operational WebSphere MQ environment and fundamental knowledge of its operation.
  • MQ administrators, developers, and architects available for meetings and discussion.

Duration: 1-3 weeks depending upon the scope of the review and the size of the implementation. 2 weeks is the most common review engagement length.
