A EUCIP IT Systems Architect is expected to play a key role in designing performing and secure IT systems - with a special focus on software architectures - integrating and upgrading them; besides a thorough competence in ICT (all domains: software, hardware and networks), this requires specific design techniques and the ability to describe a system in terms of components and logical flows.

This profile requires a minimum work experience of 60 months in a compatible job role; if this requirement is not fulfilled, the candidate might be certified as an Associate IT System Architect.
