Description
Solution Architect/Analyst:
The solution architect/analyst is a member of the DHHS Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) department. The Solution Architecture team is the link between the business and IS&T. They help the enterprise and technical architects find the right IT 'answer to their problem' by tailoring the solution to the stated business need, and defining its functional requirements and stages of implementation.
The Solution Architecture team translates technical business needs into practical IS&T solutions while establishing rules and instructions for proper implementation and delivery. They do this by considering all external factors that could have an impact on the development and delivery process. Our goal is to mitigate delivery risk by developing a consensus across the organization of what is being delivered and how. We are a support system that provides structure and reduces the scope of complexity when developing and rolling out new systems and applications.
The team covers the following types of solution design:
Business architecture
