Technology Architecture: A description of the structure and interaction of the platform services, and logical and physical technology components. This includes IT infrastructure, middleware, networks, communications, end user devices, service and systems management, hybrid cloud services, processing, standards, etc. To aid in fulfilling its mandate SSC requires additional senior level enterprise, business, technical and technology architects.
