In this training you will learn what solution architecture (SA) is, how it relates to the enterprise architecture (EA) and the benefits of using solution architecture. The training provides a practical introduction to the principles, methods and tools of solution architecture, including examples of different solution architectures. The aim of the course is to develop your skills in designing and implementing a solution architecture in practise that supports business objectives and customer needs.
Solution Architecture is defined as the architecture that describes the implementation of a development project. Solution Architecture is part of the enterprise architecture that describes the integration of an organisation's information systems, processes, data resources and business operations. The solution architecture focuses on the architecture of a single solution or service. A solution architecture may describe a change in business model, or one or more information systems to be developed. The solution architecture defines the functional, technical, quality and management requirements of the solution and how they are to be implemented. The solution architecture ensures that the solution is compatible with the enterprise architecture and that it is easy to maintain, develop and scale.
To overcome the challenges of solution architecture, it is important that the solution architect understands both business and technology perspectives, communicates effectively with different stakeholders and uses appropriate tools and methodologies to design and implement the solution.
