Partners with development teams in defining and implementing improvements in application, both current and future by articulating technical characteristics of the applications involved and the dependencies between the applications. Guides the development teams to engineer and add technical capabilities to the applications through the system requirements defined and analyzed according to the solution architectural designs. Leverages enterprise system capabilities and efficient usage of process, technology, data and people, and aligns these capabilities to the business strategy. Defines, evaluates and review the data shared across the enterprise and the relationships between those data types as it pertains to software development of application. May occasionally provide inputs/decisions on small low impact changes in the absence of a solution architect. System Process and Workflow Management: Evaluates, and analyses technical processes, workflows, data flows, integration patterns, data models defined while building system requirements and ensures efficiencies are created during the software development life cycle of the application/system. Identifies current state of processes and associated systems, elicits useful and inefficient or ineffective attributes of process and software designs, documents models of the processes and facilitates stakeholder groups to consensus regarding new software designs. Diagrams business processes at different levels (Level 2, 3) and enterprise models using tools such as Visio, Power Designer. Define the set of strategic, core and support process that transcend functional and organizational boundaries; identify and describe external entities such as customers, suppliers, and external systems that interact with the business and describe which people, resources, and controls are in the processes.
