한국어 요약
Architecture Center는 Microsoft 365, Security, Copilot, Azure, Migration, Governance를 각각의 제품 설명이 아니라 하나의 enterprise architecture 관점으로 연결합니다.
좋은 아키텍처는 구성도만 의미하지 않습니다. 왜 이 설계가 필요한지, 어떤 결정을 내려야 하는지, 누가 운영 책임을 갖는지, 어떤 산출물로 고객과 합의할지를 함께 설명해야 합니다.
Focus Areas
| Area | Architecture Questions |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 | How should tenant, collaboration, identity and governance be designed? |
| Security | How do identity, endpoint, data, messaging and network controls work together? |
| Copilot | What readiness, data protection and adoption architecture is required? |
| Azure | What landing zone, network, identity and workload patterns are needed? |
| Migration | What target state and transition architecture should guide migration? |
| Governance | What decisions, policies, owners and operating rhythms are required? |
Architecture Deliverables
- current-state and target-state architecture
- workload dependency map
- identity and access model
- security baseline and control matrix
- governance and operating model
- migration and transition architecture
- executive architecture summary
Architecture Review Model
| Review Lens | Key Questions | Expected Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Business Fit | What business problem is this architecture solving? | executive summary, stakeholder requirement map |
| Identity | How are users, admins, guests and workloads authenticated and authorized? | Entra ID design, role model, access policy |
| Security | Which controls prevent, detect and respond to risk? | Conditional Access, Defender, Purview, logging model |
| Data | How is sensitive information classified, shared, retained and protected? | DLP, retention, sensitivity label and sharing design |
| Operations | Who owns incidents, changes, exceptions and continuous improvement? | operating model, RACI, handover checklist |
| Adoption | How will users, champions and service owners use the platform correctly? | adoption plan, training assets, success metrics |
Decision Checklist
- Confirm business goals before selecting Microsoft services.
- Separate mandatory controls from optional improvements.
- Document assumptions, constraints and explicit exclusions.
- Translate each design decision into implementation tasks and owner names.
- Include governance and handover from the beginning, not only at project closure.

Consulting Principle
Good architecture is not only a diagram. It must explain why a design is needed, what decisions are required, who owns the controls and how the platform will be operated after delivery.
