Our Data Architects share a common base of expertise which focuses on understanding data solution building blocks. On top of that we design solutions based on our customer needs and balance between using best practices from industry and tailor-made solutions for each unique need. Data architects know both sides and can make conscious decisions while designing solutions.
Our Data Architects work in different roles:

- Solution Data Architect is responsible for visioning the target solution architecture and leading the team to that direction.
- Data Business Architect is a technical person who is fluent in understanding organizational data problems and using consultative methods to find solid technical solutions to these problems. A Data Business Architect can work in pre-sales or in consultative customer assignments.
As a Data Architect, you have a possibility of fine-tuning your orientation based on your interest and skills.
