In digital industry economy, it has become imperative to exploit technologies to remain competitive. Successful enterprises are creating new business models using digital technologies (including Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud, aka SMAC). Social media and Mobile devices has provided businesses with new ways to reach and interact with customers and vice versa. Analytics allow enterprises to understand how, when and where people consume certain goods and services. Cloud technologies allow handling challenges of time to market and capacity management with agility. While each technology impacts a business in a unique way, the convergence of SMAC is proving to be a disruptive force. Digital Transformation of your organization requires Digital Enterprise Applications. Solution architects play a critical role in realizing these applications and manoeuvring your organization towards a Digital Enterprise.
Defining solution Architecture is a mix of engineering and art. It is not only about acquiring theoretical knowledge but also about appropriate application of that knowledge. Mentoring & handholding by experienced architects is essential for accelerated learning. Good architects, willing to mentor and coach, are hard to find, both inside & outside your organization. You need a comprehensive, fast track and proven process to become an architect.
