In the SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M), the integration architect is tasked with designing technical integration architectures that focus on the appropriate integration technologies or services required to meet business and IT requirements.

Role of the Integration Architect:

Defines integration technologies and services (e.g., SAP Integration Suite components like Cloud Integration, Event Mesh, and API Management).

Designs architectures tailored to specific integration scenarios, ensuring optimal use of SAP tools and technologies.

Why Not Other Options?

A (Implementation and Extension): This is typically the role of developers or integration consultants, not the architect.

B (Reference Architecture): Focused more on overall IT strategy, which is a responsibility of enterprise architects, not integration architects.

D (Evaluation of Technologies): Evaluation is a collaborative effort between architects and IT leadership but is not the primary responsibility of the integration architect.
