In computer science, what does a system architect?
In: 1
Let’s say you want to automate the production , storage and distribution of your widget factory. Most IT people would tell you it’s possible, but someone needs to put together a plan of exactly which bits of hardware/software/sensors and cabling are needed. That’s your architect.
In modern big IT businesses (let’s say a bank), someone needs to work out what changes are needed to enable a new service, connect a new client and the like. Architect again.
So, by conferring with the appropriate disciplines (developers, network etc) the architect draws up the design plan.
