Get involved in architectural workIASA - IT Architect Core

Iasa IT Architect Core develops a clear pathway and defined baseline for successful IT architects. The flexibility, quality, changeability, scalability and durability of a system depends on the underlying architecture. And a good architecture is based on the correct foundation work. Lack of architecture work not only results in costly and ineffective solutions, but also in long-term issues that get stuck in the activities that the solutions will support.

What does it mean to work as an IT architect? 

The course gives you as an architect knowledge of models and tools for developing IT architectures that meet the demands of modern business. The curriculum is developed by IT architects for IT architects, which is one of the basic ideas behind Iasa.

The CITA-Foundation certification demonstrates that you are on this path and that you are taking the necessary steps to become a fully qualified architect.

• Iasa IT Architect Core focuses on:
• Architecture Thinking: building a solid foundation and ensuring architects think like architects 
• Architecture Engagement: understanding the role and how architects engage 
• Architecture Demand: discovering ways to understand the demands of the business 
• Architecture Supply: Fulfilling that demand and delivering the architecture 
• Architecture Practice: How best to build the practice of architecture within your organization 

By the end of the course, you will be able to think about your technology solutions and communicate them with an entirely new level of stakeholder. You will be able to describe the way your company is positioned within the enterprise and devise methods for making that position stronger.
