Solutions Overview & Where It Sits

Solutions is one of the DDC Capability Teams. It is led by Imran Khan.

Mission

Build a modernized and interconnected computational and data ecosystem.

As a capability team, Solutions is accountable (with the other capabilities) for defining how and who delivers products and projects — driving technical excellence and ensuring solutions are innovative, best-in-class, and integrated across the REDs.

Where Solutions sits

Solutions is a capability team inside DDC, which in turn sits inside CS CoE. TSO sits within Solutions.

Role of Solutions

  • Build and interconnect the computational and data platforms scientists rely on

  • Modernize and consolidate the solution landscape (build vs. buy, technology choices)

  • Partner with Domains to translate prioritized scientific needs into delivered solutions

  • Operate solutions reliably at scale — the delivery and operations work driven through TSO

Solutions is also broadly represented in the Architecture Catalysts network (multiple "DDC-Solutions" members), reflecting its central role in shaping the pan-RED solution landscape.
