Acting as the bridge between IT personnel and business units, Solutions Architects regularly collect feedback, make adjustments, and troubleshoot problems to effectively craft and apply the best possible solutions. Examples of these solutions include network security, cloud services to boost productivity and backup and disaster recovery systems.

- Complete at least a bachelor degree in information technology, software engineering, computer science or a related course. These disciplines will equip you with core competencies needed for Solution Architect roles.
