Architectural flexibility refers to the ability of a system to adapt and evolve over time to meet changing requirements and needs. It supports system data sharing by allowing for the integration and interoperability of different systems and applications, regardless of the underlying technologies or platforms.
This flexibility enables the implementation of an open architecture that allows for seamless data sharing between different systems, applications, and devices. For instance, an architecture that provides standardized interfaces and protocols allows different systems to communicate with each other, exchange data, and collaborate on tasks and processes.
Architectural flexibility also helps to remove silos that may exist within an organization, thereby enabling the efficient sharing of data and information across different departments and business units. This improves collaboration, reduces duplication of effort, and enhances the flow of information throughout the organization, leading to better decision-making.
Moreover, architectural flexibility supports the adoption of different data integration strategies, such as data virtualization or data warehousing, which can provide a unified view of data across different systems and applications, allowing for more efficient and effective data sharing.
