Learning objectives
All projects start with the customer architecture conversation. You cannot underestimate the importance of this step. As a qualified solution architect, you need to make the most of this initial discovery talk for the sake of project success.
To do a professional job, you need to discover all parts of the existing customer’s environment. What is even more important, you need to connect all these pieces to the current tactical focus because proposed architecture changes may impact each connected part. So, how can you build trust with your customer to get all the information you need?
Every customer is different, and every industry is different — but they share many common concerns and goals. The DB Best team has an 18-year history and track record of delivering ground-breaking projects for our valued customers. In doing so, we established a proven process, which ensures the supreme quality of delivery and allows for exceeding customer’s expectations.
At this webinar, we will share this approach with you. Watch the webinar recording to learn how you can zoom in on the existing customer’s technology and problem at hand through the architecture conversation.
