ICT Architecture Titles by Deliverables
As a Solutions Architect, I always like to think outcome or deliverables based. So here is a short description of ICT Architecture Titles by Deliverables. There seems to be a lot of confusion around these titles so hope this helps.
These titles vary depending where the nominated titles is allocated inside ICT Supply Chain. (Customer, MSP, Vendor, Solutions Integrator or Distributor) more on this here:- http://www.insidespin.com/channeltopics.php#resellers .
