Systems development can range from a single targeted application to integrating the full suite of line-of-business software that powers the enterprise.  The key to successful systems development is development of a cohesive software architecture that achieves the business goals that drive the project.  While some software architecture projects might span a single database, more complex systems could require analysis and architecture of comprehensive solution that spans a suite of systems, both local and remote, and a broad set of functions and stakeholders.  In these situations, the discovery phase is essential in making sure that the final product both achieves the long-term goals, as well as provides successful continuity with current business processes and functions.

The first step to the discovery process is creation of a list of key systems and the primary liaisons or subject experts for each software.  The architect and business analyst are then tasked with interviewing the stakeholders and creating a cohesive vision for the current state of the systems.  Once that is developed, the new business goals can then be applied to those schemas.  Opportunities for increased revenue, productivity, or significant long-term competitive advantage can be proposed in a brainstorming session, after which a feasibility study will often produce a set of concrete system requirements, their likely cost, and the potential return on investment that the project would bring to the company.
