# A Plethora of "Architectural Frameworks" have emerged over the past several years

--General Purpose Frameworks: "One-Size-Fits-All"

--Technology-Specific (Telephony Interfaces, Multi-Platform Applications, etc.)

# Very difficult to anticipate all requirements in a "One-Size-Fits-All" model --Unnecessary constructs (e.g.: May contain elaborate environment constructs for single environment projects, etc.)

--Insufficient constructs (e.g.: May lack key Active X support for required third-party controls, etc.)

--Success of a framework is often hard to measure
