- Evaluate current technical infrastructure and capabilities, documenting existing platforms, tools, databases, and integration technologies to inform modernization planning.
- Prepare detailed assessment reports and gap analyses that clearly articulate current state, desired future state, risks, and complexity factors for vendor evaluation.
- Support vendor scoping activities by translating technical findings into business requirements, participating in vendor meetings, and helping evaluate proposed solutions against assessment findings.
- Create data dictionaries and documentation of critical business entities, relationships, and definitions to ensure consistent understanding across all stakeholders and vendors.
- Collaborate with the Strategic Data Architect to prioritize data conversion and migration activities based on business criticality, technical complexity, and risk assessment.
