Perform application compatibility assessments and develop remediation strategies for applications requiring modernization or repackaging.
Plan and execute pilot deployments, migration waves, and phased device migrations while minimizing business disruption and operational risk.
Establish migration governance, standards, risk management processes, and success metrics to support enterprise migration objectives.
Develop KPI reporting, migration dashboards, and executive‑level status reporting to track migration progress, compliance, risks, and operational readiness.
Create architecture documentation, solution designs, runbooks, SOPs, migration procedures, rollback plans, and operational handover materials.
Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security, Azure, Network, Service Desk, Desktop Engineering, and Application teams throughout the migration lifecycle.
