Software Architects
All too often shortcuts are made to ICT architecture. And that is a pity. Because you don’t build a house without a good building plan, right? Thanks to the work of the architect, you know in advance what the structure will look like. And upon delivery, you check the work done on the basis of the drawings and specifications. A systematic approach is also very important for the success of the ICT-project A good specialist provides his client with a better product and therefore a significant competitive advantage.
The Software Architect designs new applications, software and cloud solutions. He solves integration issues and streamlines existing architectures. In addition to good analytical skills, he also has extensive experience with complex IT environments. During projects, he mediates between developers and future users of software solutions. These two groups do not always speak the same language, therefore highly developed communication skills are required. By providing good information and insight, he helps the business make the right choices. These translate not only into functional descriptions and technical designs, but also into well-founded business cases and well-thought-out roadmaps .

Different types of architects
The role of the architect is often combined with that of an analyst. But it also happens that a team of business analysts and software architects share responsibility for the design of the ICT architecture. The work involved in a role differs per company. We describe the most common job titles.
- The enterprise architect monitors the overall vision and oversees the business, data and technology dimensions. He/she is involved in architecture management and is not or to a lesser extent directly involved in projects.
- The function names solutions and system architect embrace two different perspectives. The solutions architect can be involved in the design of applications and solutions tailored to functional requirements. The system architect can deal with infrastructure and implementation. In medium-sized and smaller organizations, an ICT professional usually fulfils both roles, while larger organizations usually divide responsibilities.
- Another common job title is that of a domain architect. This role lies in depth and scope between that of the enterprise and solutions architect and is divided into the sub-areas: Data, Integration, Security, IT processes, Mobile ( iOS, Android, cross-platform ), Cloud (A WS, Azure, Google Cloud ) and Infrastructure ( network, server, web run time )
All architecture is design, but not all design is architecture

What our clients tell about us
“Our international website and webshop are an important channel for communication and doing business with our customers. Our online presence is also important for our new business activities. The environment was build using PHP code. The last update had been version 5.6. After the recent release of PhP 7.3 our environment was no longer secure. To upgrade all of this was quite a challenge. Team4Code energetically embarked on this project and made sure that our online environment is safe and reliable again.”
