Experts model the Technical Architect’s job role and outline the topics for the Content Management Technical Architect exam
Pleasanton, CA August 6-7 2007
In an intense 2-day job task analysis workshop, a team of 13 experts, selected based on their broad skills and work experience in designing the architecture of enterprise Content Management systems, defined the job practice domain of a Technical Architect in EMC Documentum. The team included partners, EMC Consulting, Engineering, and Education Services. Together they outlined the knowledge, skills, abilities, decisions, and tools, that a certified Content Management Technical Architect would need to have.
The workshop began with defining the requirements for the EMC Proven Technical Architect track. The team then proceeded to brainstorm the work model for the job role. The team ended up with nine sections for the proposed Content Management Technical Architect (CMTA) exam including Migration and Upgrades, Business Continuity, Scalability, Performance and Testing, Security, Capacity Planning, Support Operations, Infrastructure Integration, Enterprise Architecture, and Application Design.
All the experts agreed that it was interesting yet challenging to define a job role that they were so intimately familiar with. Several looked forward to the upcoming workshop in which questions will be written testing the knowledge points and skills under the various sections defined for the exam.
If you would like to participate in the CMTA question writing workshop to take place October 1-5, 2007, in Pleasanton, email CMA_Certification@emc.com indicating your area of subject matter expertise. Workshop attendees get credit for the exam and a free voucher to take the Content Management Foundations exam.
