ICT system integration consultant

What the work can involve

Integration consulting usually starts with existing applications, data ownership and business processes that do not yet fit together. The consultant maps interfaces, defines technical requirements and helps teams choose middleware, web services or migration steps.

Skills and specializations

The role needs digital systems, systems development life-cycle knowledge, information security policies and practical integration of ICT data. Specialization can focus on cloud migration, APIs, document management, security architecture or change requests.

Salary context

Pay expectations vary with system complexity, client responsibility, integration risk and whether the consultant owns architecture decisions or mainly supports implementation work.

Career paths

A common path moves from requirements and component integration into solution architecture, enterprise architecture, cloud integration, ICT project management or specialist security work.

Good to know

Read vacancies for the systems named, the data flows involved and the expected authority over design decisions. A strong advert separates integration consulting from ordinary application support.
