We inhabit an era of sweeping technological discoveries. Each day, we push the threshold of our knowledge and innovation a bit further from the yoke of yesterday’s shortcomings. Average enterprises today are opting for a complete rehaul of their operative model with digital transformation. However, without the right strategies and organizational apparatus, such an endeavor can end up in chaos or can be outrun by the next disruption in the marketplace.
In a typical scenario, organizations partner with designated IT service providers, but most of these technology partners act as doers and not as strategic or consulting partners. Most thought leaders today emphasize the need to innovate in order to stay ahead of the curve.
TCS EAS leadership, however, took a step further to empower today’s enterprise architects to become tomorrow’s leading game-changers. This is where the TCS EAS-Enterprise Application Architect comes into picture.
So, what is it? It is a specialized flagship initiative powered by the TCS Enterprise Applications Services, one of the most advanced business units in the organization. The program is borne of TCS’ vast industry knowledge and wide customer base and provides exposure to various applications or domains with an assignment-based learning strategy based on solving challenging customer problems.
This is different from the traditional, predefined Open Group Architecture Framework by TOGAF or Zachman in that it offers a proprietary set of frameworks designed to align with and optimize specific business requirements of different industries and customers that TCS caters to.
What’s in it for a young professional?
When my journey with the program started, I was already working as an Enterprise Architect (EA) for one of TCS’ large accounts in Communications, Media, and Information Services. Someone asked me why I had decided to join this program when I was already an EA, working for a big client. I responded highlighting on the need to go deeper and gain better insights from TCS’ diverse market presence that could help me add more value to the work I do, constantly learn, and hone my professional acumen. I was one among few associates to be nominated for the program. Even fewer were selected at the interview round; people from several areas of expertise (Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, and other ERPs) came together at a single learning forum.
The days that followed saw a lot of cross-circulation of ideas and experiences.
After being given an overview of different Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and EA processes, we had to design the final presentation on a business case study that was poles apart from anything we were familiar with—be it our program or account or vertical or industry. This was to become the real test of all my learning so far. It was thrilling to gain a new perception of something so different from my own domain. Collaboration with teams was the catalyst that helped one take in new learnings and generate fresh ideas.
Today, am proud to be one of the first associates to graduate with an Enterprise Application Architect certificate at TCS. The experience helped me become aware, understand, and collaborate with different technology and industry SMEs. I went into the program eager to chart out the future course of my career; I emerged a stronger individual and a sharper professional. What the journey helped me learn included:
This is an amazing career path for a Technical or Solution Architect to becoming an EA. It holds a three-pronged benefit, where an individual can scale up their career growth at EAS, our customers reap the benefits of a digital era, and TCS as an organization expands its opportunities and demand. Our suite of traditional and advanced EA services provides our customers exactly what they need to succeed. Be an innovator.
