Data Assessment and Mapping

Conduct a thorough analysis of existing data structures, identifying dependencies, relationships, and potential challenges. Create data mapping documents to ensure accurate and complete migration of data elements.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Implement and oversee rigorous data quality checks and validation processes, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of migrated data. Establish and ensure compliance with data governance standards and security protocols in the Azure cloud environment.

Collaboration and Communication

Collaborate closely with IT teams, business analysts, and other stakeholders to align data migration strategies with broader business goals. Facilitate effective communication channels between technical and non-technical teams, ensuring clarity and understanding of the migration process. Collaborate with IT and the client’s business areas including Product owners and their teams to address technical issues, troubleshoot errors, and optimise performance during migration.  Help the client prepare for the migration process.

Problem Solving and Innovation

Address and resolve complex technical challenges encountered during migration, employing a problem-solving approach that leverages the latest industry practices. Continuously explore opportunities for process improvement and automation, staying abreast of emerging trends and technologies in data migration and cloud solutions.
