Solutions architecture

Our solution architects tailor IT solutions to fit our clients’ business needs. They define the functional requirements and iterations of implementations to meet your business requirements. We collaborate closely with our clients, business and IT partners, to deliver robust and pragmatic solutions that move the needle for our clients. We do this in cooperation and coordination with the client’s enterprise architecture team, if there is one, and work within the guard rails of its vision for the target architecture. Ultimately each iteration in the solution should eventually lead to the desired target architecture. Oftentimes, one cannot get to target architecture in one step, but over multiple architecture transitions. Whatever the need, our chief architect would love to talk to you!

Solutions architecture is an art

We believe that a skilled solution architect should create business value quickly and iteratively - while at the same time driving towards the enterprise target architecture vision.

This is how we have been doing solutions architecture - but we are flexible to tailor this approach to fit your needs and IT corporate culture. we recognize one size does not fit all.

  • 1. Use case

    We will work with you to understand your use case: new capability, pain points, or the problem you want to solve. Collaboration is the key here.

  • 2. Current state

    Before we recommend a solution, we will first need to understand current state. Then, we will document current state so everyone is on the same page.

  • 3. Target state

    Rome was not built in one day, and getting to target state may require a few architecture transitions and more time. But it’s important to know what that target state might look like. Equally important is to create business value quickly. That’s the opportunity and the challenge.

  • 4. Solution options

    This is the education phase: we learn from each other. We hold solutioning and discovery sessions with your team, business and IT. Then, we present you with solution options. Together we pick the most reasonable solution to implement.

  • 5. Solution

    Once you, the client, are satisfied and agree to the solution, we work the details for the software engineering team to begin execution. The solution architect produces the necessary artifacts to support implementation.

  • 6. Implementation

    This could be done entirely by you, the client, or entirely by SapiensTek, or we help you augment your own staff. We are flexible on how you like to do this. WHATEVER works for you!

  • 7. Monitor

    Solution architect keeps their eye on the solution being implemented to ensure that the chosen solution is actually being coded.

  • 8. Iterate

    It depends on the SDLC being followed here, but one would need to iterate over a few architecture transitions to reach target state. Sometimes one could reach target state quickly, but most of the time that is not the case.

  • 9. Target architecture reached

    This is the ultimate goal. Create business value while iteratively getting to the target architecture.
