Solution Architect
Based on high-level business needs and his/her technical understanding, our Solution Architect compares multiple potential solutions that meet both functional and non-functional needs. Subsequently, he/she will recommend one.
While Solution Architects often work on IT solutions, such as buying a software package, building in-house applications or reusing existing ones, it is even more important to also consider the impact on the organisation and business processes. For instance, the best solution may not include an IT change at all. During this process, (s)he will work together with the Enterprise Architects, other Solution Architects, Development Teams, etc.
Once a solution is agreed upon, the Solution Architect will need to sell it to a variety of stakeholders, ranging from high management till developers.
During implementation, the Solution Architect supports the different business & IT teams working on it. (S)he also ensures that the solution is implemented in a coherent way across these teams.
