Responsibilities

Responsibilities

The role of an Enterprise Architect (EA) is to partner with our customers to understand their business, strategies, challenges, and goals in order to build a vision for enterprise transformation. EAs are responsible for aligning customers’ business strategies with new capabilities and process changes required to achieve desired outcomes. EAs assist in the creation of business cases mapped to strategic goals with benefits that are qualitative and measurable. EAs partner with Business Architects (cross-functional experts) to design an actionable roadmap to prioritize change and develop realistic, realizable plans for execution. The EA’s role continues after the sale through adoption and deployment to ensure customer success.

Role Description

The Enterprise Architect (EA) is a customer-facing role whose primary aim is to work with the customer, internal sales, and pre-sales teams to define how an application, or set of applications, and all necessary supporting technologies can be implemented to meet a set of high-level customer requirements. The EA will be responsible for understanding the customer’s end-to-end business processes and/or customer journeys, and to understand how those processes and journeys could be delivered within a solution with Oracle applications and technology at the core. The Enterprise Architect will advise on the high-level architectural choices and will also support the customer in defining new strategies for cloud adoption where necessary. Where a significant customer cloud transformation and adoption is required, the EA will guide the customer through the redefinition of their target operating model to best make use of the Oracle cloud portfolio and services.

The EA will eventually be expected to have a broad knowledge of the Oracle portfolio of cloud applications, cloud technology, industry expertise, and deep thorough knowledge of cloud security, cloud operations, integration strategies, hybrid models, cloud migration, and deployment strategies. This also includes understanding hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments, their interdependencies, and our strategies for integrating business processes across them. In addition to understanding the core technical capabilities of the applications (e.g. workflow, reporting, configuration, APIs, etc.), critically the EA must know how to extend our solutions beyond delivered capabilities by leveraging our platform-as-a-service (integration, development, mobile, business intelligence, blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc.).The EA must be able to present to the customer all of the above, but also on Oracle’s roadmap, Oracle’s key functional and non-functional differentiators, and the business implications.

Leadership is also a key requirement of an Enterprise Architect. The EA must exude strong communication skills, interpersonal skills, and executive presence. Lastly, it is expected that the EA invests heavily in corporate citizenship and is a role model for contributing to architecture and non-architecture Oracle communities.
