The document defines the roles of solution architect, enterprise architect, and technical architect. It states that a solution architect is responsible for converting business requirements into an architectural design and blueprint for a solution. The solution architect needs input from stakeholders and provides outputs like application, database, infrastructure, and implementation designs. It also outlines the differences between the roles, noting that an enterprise architect focuses on enterprise-wide strategy, a solution architect focuses on delivering a specific solution, and a technical architect specializes in particular technologies within a solution. Finally, it shows how a solution architect contributes throughout the total life cycle of a solution.

3 Definition What is a Solution Architect? The essence of the Solution Architect (SA) role is the conversion of the requirements into an architecture and design that will become the blueprint for the solution being created. This conversion is based largely upon the previous design patterns that the SA has been involved with in the past through reading and staying abreast of the latest techniques, or through personal experience. [1] Solution Architecture is a phrase which is becoming more widely used but can mean different things to different people. The high level system design which defines the technical solution to a single business or IT problem.” It lays out the overall shape of the solution and specifies the necessary system level changes (or requirement for new implementation) in a set of “views” that can be understood by a wide range of audiences all of whom have differing information requirements. The solution design both draws from and contributes to the overall enterprise architecture.[2] [1].http://www.developer.com/mgmt/article.php/3504496/Anatomy-of-a-Software-Development-Role-Solution-Architect.htm [2].http:// www.impactiveltd.com
4 Definition Input and Output of Solution Architect? http:// www.impactiveltd.com The Solution Architect needs input from: Each of the key stake holders in the form of business requirements; An understanding of the existing IT estate (e.g. system documentation, service risk assessments); Delivery constraints (i.e. time, cost, mechanism) from the project manager; and Enterprise architecture standards, guidelines, patterns and roadmaps for the problem domain. The Solution Architect may deliver the Solution Delivery as follow: Application Design as the architecture logical view Database Design as the architecture data view Infrastructure Design as the architecture deployment view Plan and Approaches as the architecture implementation view Test Design, Training, Manuals as the architecture Use Case view Business Unit IT OPS, IT APS Project Manager IT SAP Use Case
