Integrations Specialist

Focus: Coordination, defining integration strategies, leading use of integration technologies & languages

Roles

Integration specialists bridge the gap between functional analysis/specs and technical analysis/specs, particularly for integration projects. The lines can be blurry between the role of a technical analyst from the functional areas (TAM/ESC) and that of the integration analyst (ICC). The distinct function of the integration analyst is to take a properly vetted and approved functional requirement, with supporting business logic (e.g. SQL, db-stored procedures), and fit that with the best-suited integration solution.

Furthermore, the integration role includes the responsibility of ongoing support for those integration solutions. This includes, but is not limited to, access controls and provisioning, production support, upgrades and enhancements.
