Digital Transformation Through Solutions Architecting

Solution architecture belongs to the list of most important practices executed before any tech solution development begins. In this article, we’ll discuss what solution architecture is, describe the role of a solution architect, and explain how adopting this expertise can help solve business problems.

Solution architecture is designing, describing, and managing solution engineering to match it with specific business problems. For example, protecting customer data under GDPR and other privacy regulations is a business-level problem. Solution architecture defines how those requirements translate into a given software’s operation.

Solution architecture is a complex process – with many sub-processes – that bridges the gap between business problems and technological solutions. Its goals are to:

•  Find the best tech solution to solve existing business problems.
•  Describe the software’s structure, characteristics, behavior, and other aspects to project stakeholders.
• Define features, development phases, and solution requirements.
• Provide specifications for which the solution is defined, managed, and delivered.

We have cross-industry expertise, and to date, we have designed and built a variety of complex systems, such as :

•  Designing, building, and operating an Air passenger preclearance system
•  Design and building of Fintech and RegTech Platforms
•  Software intellectual property risk management
•  Technology due diligence for private equity investment transactions
• Data governance and protection strategies
• Security certification and accreditation initiative
• Infrastructure modernization, optimization, and cloud migration
• Design and Building of Core Banking Platform
• Design and deployment of a real-time national and cross-regional payment hub
• Building of business resiliency capability

Adopting the above approach digital transformation initiatives has been proven to improve business agility and flexibility from our experience acquired over the last 20 years.
