Explanation

When a packaged solution (e.g., an ERP system) is mandated by business principles, the typical ADM order is inverted. Normally, Business Architecture drives Information Systems Architecture, but because the packaged solution constrains what is possible, the Information Systems Architecture (what the package supports) should be defined first. The Business Architecture is then completed afterward to align with what the package can deliver. This reflects the reality that the technology choice is a fixed constraint rather than a derived output.
