The architect enters early in the sales cycle and identifies the Microsoft product suite that best solves our customers' business problems.

They mentor others to create a best-of-breed workforce and work environment, thus ensuring a consistent customer experience.

They possess the deep technical knowledge that allows them to integrate portions of technology that support a single technology area, but also possess a breadth of knowledge in multiple technology areas that allow them to integrate between the various technologies in use in an enterprise environment.

The architect is aware of the major vendors in a technology space (at an architectural level) and can discuss the pros and cons of selecting one vendor over another for a specific project. They also keep track of industry vertical trends, technology trends, and the impact of regulatory compliance on architectures.
