What is a Solutions Architect?
A Solutions Architect solves I.T. problems either directly from his or her
own skill set or by finding the means and/or resource needed to
resolve the problem.
The problem to be resolved could be a just a simple requirement
to augment existing staff to work on a database issue, a legacy ASP problem,
fix or build a new .NET application, migrate a legacy system or perhaps
retiring a server and putting a new server in service.
