Hire a solution architect in Greece and Cyprus

The architect who owns how everything fits: system landscape, integrations, and build-versus-buy decisions, written down so they survive.

Schedule a call How our vetting works

In many Greek and Cypriot companies the ERP belongs to one vendor, the e-shop to a second and the CRM to a third, and nobody owns the space between them. A solution architect takes that space as the job. It usually starts with one of these:

An integration failed and each vendor blames the other
A build-or-buy decision with money on it and no neutral view
A vendor proposal awaiting signature that nobody inside can judge
A product outgrew its first build and every release slows down

The solution architects on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from senior architecture roles in industry, top consultancies and product companies that outgrew their first platform. They share the habit the role depends on: writing decisions down, with the reasoning and the rejected alternatives.

What does a solution architect actually do?

Own the target landscape and the integration architecture that holds it together
Make the build-or-buy call with the trade-offs stated, not buried
Review vendor proposals before signature, and translate them for the business
Set the technical rules across vendors: standards, interfaces and who decides what
Redesign a product's architecture once it has outgrown its first build
Record each significant decision with its reasoning and the alternatives rejected
