System Architect

Following an assiduous technological watch and serious research, you presented your conclusions to the top management of your company and convinced them of the benefits of the new architectures and technologies. You now have the mandate to plan a transition that will not only ensure the safe and painless migration of your resources, environments and systems, but also allow you to demonstrate quickly the promised benefits!

But despite your unquestionable technology expertise, you cannot single-handedly implement such an important change. Your whole team must also be ready, because the implementation of a new infrastructure is a complex task.

This is where Consyst can help!

In the last 20 years, Consyst has helped system architects and technology managers of reputable and prestigious organizations reach their goals. With our tools, our expertise and our experience that we strive to continually improve with the collaboration of our customers, we can help you select and implement the best technological environment and architecture for your needs. Furthermore, we can help you accelerate the migration of your environment and resources to those new technologies.

According to Gartner Group, the main challenges of the system architects and their team are quite similar between different organizations:

• How to successfully train your team with the concepts, methods and other knowledge to prevent errors and failures? How to encourage each member to use proven techniques? Your resources are not all at the same expertise level, and some might not even be able to adapt. According to Gartner, one third of resources will adapt in six months or less, another third will adapt in one year, and the rest will not adapt.
• How to persuade certain members of your team to use proven, already available tools, frameworks and environments, instead of recreating them in-house? This tendency increases the level of risk and extends the schedules.
• How to decide if you need to choose between a team that is technology savvy and a team focussed on resolving business problems that target the needs of the organization?
• How to make sure that you remain in control of the project? How to determine which aspects of must be developed and kept within your organization from those that can be delegated or simply outsourced?
• How to face up to the impatience of the top management who expect fast results, and at the same time implement a stable, standard and productive environment?

These challenges can quickly become overwhelming and your project fall apart if you and your team are not prepared and if an effective strategy is not put into place.
