I don't like the term Software Architect. I think having an architect for software alone is redundant. That's part of the job of coding.
Where I believe there is value is in having a System Architect, who will take a wider view of the system as a whole, especially wrt the users and how they will use it, plus all the add-on mechanisms required to install/maintain/backup a production system.
