The architect is involved in putting together what machines are needed for a project, what OS they should run, what application server should be used, and what database management system He is mainly a collector if information. However if the OS team wants to run LINUX and the database team wants to run Solaris, he would make the decision on which way to go. The architect has too look at all the projects and design a cost-effective strategy for them all. He is usually not i the chain of command, but has the power to make decisions as discussed above.
