      Apr 2007 - Jan 2020
      Solution Architect dedicated to the Jasco Sub-Sahara Africa Business Unit

      My core function as a contact centre solution architect is to translate the customer's contact centre and unified communication business requirements into a technical product and professional services solution. The solution will include an architectural design and specification of the hardware, OS, DataBase, application licenses, data network etc. required to support the functionality desired from the contact centre and/or unified communication solution. Once the design is specified I am also responsible for compiling and pricing the Bill of Material (BOM), Annual Maintenance costs, Professional services implementation effort (which includes, Project Management, Installation, End-user Training, Business Analysis as well as Travel and Living expenses) which will be required to deliver the contact centre and/or unified communication solution being proposed.From there the the pricing, design input and solution design are consolidated and included in a formal customer proposal or presentation. Finally and most importantly the solution architect will assist the account managers in presenting and discussing the proposed solution with the customer and explain how the proposed solution meets the stated business requirements.
