• Requirements are clearly defined
• Integration design aligns with the service model
• Testing scenarios are prepared and validated.

4. Testing, Validation & Readiness

• Define and coordinate functional and integration testing scenarios across systems.
• Ensure integrations and technology components are validated from a service delivery and operational perspective.
• Coordinate UAT and transition readiness activities with Client and NIIT stakeholders.

5. Enterprise Governance & Compliance Coordination

• Support the completion of required enterprise governance processes, including:
• Information Security assessments
• Data Privacy reviews
• AI governance assessments (if applicable)
• Enterprise Assurance and risk reviews
• Work with Client and NIIT stakeholders to ensure required documentation, controls, and validations are completed.
• Act as a central coordination point across technical and functional stakeholders during the transition phase.
• Collaborate closely with:
• IT and enterprise architecture teams
• Workday and integration consultants
• L&D operations teams
• NIIT technology, platform, and service delivery teams.
• Facilitate alignment across stakeholders on technical scope, dependencies, and delivery timelines.

7. Transition Planning & Knowledge Transfer

• Support the planning and execution of technology-related transition activities required to move into steady-state service delivery.
• Ensure all systems, integrations, and operational processes are ready for go-live.
• Coordinate documentation, handovers, and knowledge transfer to NIIT operational teams post-transition.

• NIIT DNA: Deep understanding of NIIT’s Managed Training Services (MTS) tools and operational workflows.
• Strong experience in techno-functional consulting roles supporting enterprise system transitions or service setup programs.
• Ability to bridge business requirements and technical implementation across multiple systems.
