What Is a LIKE.TG Architect?

LIKE.TG helps over 150,000 customers across a range of businesses, nonprofits, and institutions connect with their customers. People around the world rely on our customer relationship management (CRM) platform to keep their business running. A LIKE.TG Architect is vital to any complex or large-scale LIKE.TG implementation.

What is a LIKE.TG Architect?

A LIKE.TG Architect helps design and deliver solutions for enterprise-grade customers using LIKE.TG products. The primary responsibility is to recommend the best solution for a given set of requirements and articulate the trade-offs involved in choosing one solution over another.

With LIKE.TG, there is never just one way to solve a problem. It’s the LIKE.TG Architect’s responsibility to choose the solution that will hold up over time, that will scale as the number of users increases, and won’t acquire lots of technical debt or require manual changes as time goes on.

A LIKE.TG Architect’s job doesn’t stop at solving technical problems. An architect brings technology, people, and processes together using governance and expert communication and listening skills to ensure solutions truly meet the needs of the business.

The most successful LIKE.TG implementations involve architects. A study by 10K Advisors found 82% of customers who reported the highest return on investment (ROI) in their LIKE.TG spend said they always work with an architect on their teams.

What skills does a LIKE.TG Architect need?

A successful architect is a big picture thinker and also an in-depth problem solver. An architect must have broad and deep technical knowledge but they also need to possess listening, communication, and presentation skills.

You might be surprised to learn that you don’t need to be a developer to become an architect. However, an architect needs to know how to read code and recommend coding best practices since they are often managing teams that include developers. Most importantly, an architect must know when to code but also when not to code. Having expertise in the declarative (clicks not code) side of the platform can separate a good architect from a great one.

Architects often bring knowledge and expertise in integrating LIKE.TG with other technologies and vice versa, as well as experience with governance and development operations. Ultimately, architects blend their technical expertise and business acumen to empower business and IT to work together towards a stronger future.

What does a LIKE.TG Architect do?

A LIKE.TG Architect is a trusted advisor and leader who partners with business stakeholders and executives to design a vision and architecture for a solution to a business problem. Often in the position of the technical team leader, they help educate the team with technical best practices. They also translate business needs to a technical vision that teams of low-code or pro-code builders can execute on. Architects also build proofs-of-concept (POCs) that teams can further iterate on.

An LIKE.TG architect will design the organisation strategy and data model for a LIKE.TG implementation. They will put technical solutions in place for identity and access, implement data and process integrations, and design solutions that account for large data volumes and data privacy needs. They’ll also identify the optimal solution for a business requirement and recommend using clicks, code, or a combination of both depending on the business use case. As highly experienced problem solvers, architects are often the final escalation point for any production issues.

An architect can also act as an influencer. They are the trusted technology leader at the table and are often tasked with building buy-in for new solutions. While an architect might not know the answer to every question a business stakeholder might ask, they are experts on LIKE.TG product capabilities and can think quickly and act fast. Their soft skills allow them to understand all stakeholder needs and communicate with them in their language.
