What Is the Role of a Solutions Architect?
Solution architecture is a high-level description of a software product in the context of the problems it solves. In other words, solution architecture shows how a system and its specific features help a company reach its determined business goals.
Having a clear vision for the project, and a clear understanding of the client’s business needs, a solutions architect maps out the parts that will constitute the software solution and how they are going to work together. A solutions architect starts very early in the project, laying out what is to come.
Solution Architects are oftentimes required to have practical skills and knowledge in:
- Computer and operating systems;
- Infrastructure and engineering design;
- DevOps;
- System security measures;
- Business analysis;
- Database management;
- Cloud development;
- Web platforms;
