What is best choice among below while selecting a technology component ?
Technical component that is categorized as declining
Technical component that is part of the reference architecture
Technical component that meets all of the functional requirements, and most of the non functional requirements
Technical component that meets all of the current requirements, but not necessarily the requirements for future products that the architecture will need to support
Selecting components from the reference architecture provides strategic advantages beyond meeting immediate requirements: consistency, maintainability, supportability, and alignment with organizational standards. While functional requirements are necessary, they're insufficient alone - the reference architecture embodies enterprise best practices and supports long-term architectural evolution.
