What is a Salesforce Architect?

If you are not familiar with the ‘Solution Architect’ role then it can be explained relatively simply. Solution Architects are ultimately responsible for the ‘Solution’ to the given business requirements. As opposed to an Enterprise Architect who would look at a whole system landscape and multiple technologies, Salesforce Solution Architects mainly focus their efforts on, you guessed it, Salesforce. Although, this does not necessarily mean it is a simpler role.
