Hi Chaitanya

I think just you need to change the role with more responsibility

XI Architect:

- Focus on experience on previous projects

- Convert business/functional requirements in technical specifications

- Prepare the solution Roadmap

- Design the integration process

- Pass technical specification to XI developers

I hope this will help you

Hi ,...

if u are India...i dont think having an experiance 2.2 years can become Solution architect...unless and until u have 5 years of exp is must...

becoz,it involves from planning of a project to cost estimation,etc...

i am not saying that u cant do it....but given a chnce anyone can make it...

companies prefer experianced guys for this position...

Cheers,

Hi,

For Solution Architect you must have following:

- Aware of end-2-end landscape and its inherited complexity.

- Must have sound knowledge of EAI methodology.

- Should have functional experience.

- Should have strong problem solving capability.

- Your focus should be smart solution with low effort/cost.

To develop such traits:

- You must have 2-3 full implementation experience.

- Be proactive in development task.

- Try to gain functional knowledge as much as possible.

Hi chaitanya,

A person who has:

• Technical knowledge and worked across functional areas

• Techno-Functional experience

• Moderate to very good understanding of Basis and more than one Functional areas

• Handled complex requirements

What makes me map this high skilled profile to that of a BPX ? Consider the following to be the requirements for a BPX, there are more than half the areas that a Solution Architect is well versed of. The other half areas are the ones in which he might have moderate to very high understanding. However there might be a few areas that he/she can improvise to be a complete BPX.

For a BPX the challenges are as follows:

1. Understand the business process

2. Model the scenario

3. Able to do the configuration

4. See through the implementation

5. Manage the one odd tweaks that have to be incorporated in between

6. Understanding of the technical feasibility to the problem is also the most important item

If you have 18 months and have worked from XI 2.0 you should not be asking this question . You should know the path yourself and should enlighten us as well. :-
