Becoming a technology evangelist and thought leader
Technology evangelism is about being an expert to advocate technology and your product. Some organizations with an extensive product base roll out a separate technology evangelist role. Still, often, a solution architect needs to assume the role of an evangelist as part of their job. As a technology evangelist, you need to be aware of current technology trends to understand real-world problems and advocate your technology to solve their business concerns.
Technology evangelism involves participating in an industry conference as a public speaker and promoting your respective platform. It allows you to become a thought leader and an influencer, which can help the organization increase its platform and product adoption. Public speaking is one of the critical skills required for a solution architect to interreact on various public platforms and present in front of a large audience.
