Change Management & Go-Live

• Collaborate with business units to design comprehensive User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scripts and training programs for the new Maximo MAS interface.
• Develop a robust cutover and rollback plan to minimise business downtime during the final go-live window.
• Work alongside key business stakeholders within the business to track and manage dependencies, ensuring business readiness for a smooth transition in parallel to the technical implementation.
