Solution Architects gain an understanding of prospect pain points and motivations, as well as opportunity dynamics and competitive landscape to help formulate the pursuit strategy. Solution Architects work with Account Executives and Client Success Managers to define the proposed solutions based on opportunity fit and win odds. They prepare presentation and demonstration agenda and stories, working with TTEC Digital resources to develop tailored demos and vision clips.

Solution Architects are responsible for technical solution documentation, solution scoping, quote and Scope of Work (SOW) creation.
Solution Architects maintain deep and broad knowledge of the Customer Experience (CX) and related technologies represented by TTEC Digital, and of one or more vertical industries, in particular. They perform presentations to large audiences at industry conference events, as well as participate in user groups, blogs, and other activities as public advocates for TTEC Digital and key partner technologies.
