“Welcome to the IASA Solution Course! It is an absolute pleasure working with architects from all over the world on understanding and growing our professional practice. We hope to work with you as well both to teach and to learn. The Iasa curriculum is designed by architects, with architects and for architects. It is my life’s mission and true joy to have seen these ideas emerge and take root in our field.” Paul Preiss, CEO, Iasa Global
The CITA-A Solution course is for architects, managers, senior technical and delivery staff who wish to get a full life-cycle view of working and deliverable architectures at the enterprise solution level. They are expected to have completed CITA-Foundation and the IASA Core course. Students of the class have included CTO’s, Senior Development teams, architects of all types, and business managers with technical skills.
A Solutions Architect is an expert in many categories. They should have hands-on experience in multiple industries and across several disciplines. They can master a variety of hardware platforms including mainframes, distributed platforms, desktops, and mobile devices. Akin to that, they should also possess skill and understanding of a variety of Operating Systems. A broad and deep understanding of Databases is also required.
There is a special Iasa gift for the student with the highest points regardless of what, ahem, your employer might decide to do about them.
