• Define source-to-target mappings, transformation rules, data contracts, validation controls, and error-handling standards that keep connected data accurate, complete, traceable, and recoverable.

• Perform solution-level risk assessments and threat modeling; document data exposure, trust boundaries, failure modes, control requirements, and residual risk before production release.
• Establish governance for AI solutions, including approved data use, grounding sources, human oversight, output validation, model and prompt change control, and monitoring for quality and misuse.
• Ensure solutions comply with company policies, contractual obligations, export-control requirements, and applicable regulatory or customer requirements.
• Identify and deliver use cases where AI, intelligent agents, and automation improve productivity, accuracy, responsiveness, or decision-making.
• Architect, prototype, build, test, deploy, and support AI-enabled solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI, OpenAI, Power Platform, and other approved enterprise technologies.
• Integrate AI solutions with governed enterprise data and applications while maintaining clear permissions, provenance, logging, and human review.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend adoption only when the business case, security posture, support model, and operational readiness are clear.
• Measure deployed solutions for accuracy, performance, adoption, cost, control effectiveness, and business impact; improve or retire them based on evidence.
