Systems project leader
Description
Systems consultants are responsible for solving design issues that affect the functioning of ICT Systems (systems with hardware, software and communications devices, such as networks, servers, mobile devices, etc.). In addition, design and implement quality technical solutions for the clients.
These professionals usually coordinate a team specialising in systems. They must inform client companies of technological advances and develop new products and services that help them expand properly. The solutions they propose must be custom-made; the proposal must be efficient and must be able to be produced in a realistic time period. Clients may be an external company or the company itself (in the case of large businesses).
These professionals have a hybrid role between market knowledge and dealing with clients, with a technical specialisation.
