Advanced Security Architecture Specialisation
Advanced Architecture Specialisations can be used as the specialisation requirements for Select and Premier partner. Gold partners require 4 Advanced Architecture Specialisations with the Advanced Data Center Architecture Specialisations as one of the options.
Specialisation Requirements
The specialisation is made up of three distinct roles, Account Manager (AM), Architecture Systems Engineer (SE), Field Engineer (FE). An individual may only fulfil one Advanced Collaboration Architecture Specialisation role.
The training not allocated to roles can be fulfilled by any individual(s) who holds the required specialist accreditations regardless of whether he or she is filling the required job role (account manager or systems engineer). The online application only checks that someone from the company holds these badges.

AM: Account Managers may fulfil up to 3 Advanced Architecture Account Manager roles
SE: System Engineers may fulfil up to 2 Advanced Architecture System Engineer roles
FE: Field Engineers may fulfil 1 Advanced Architecture Field Engineer role.
