As announced on Twitter my accreditation package was approved today and I am now an IBM accredited IT architect. This IBM accreditation can be compared to the Open Group level 1 certification called “Certified IT Architect”.

Now I will start to focus on my certification package to eventually become an IBM certified IT architect that can be directly compared to the Open Group level 2 certification called “Master Certified IT Architect”.
