- Coordinate with security and compliance leads on architecture reviews, risk assessments, and remediation planning.
- Identify architectural risks related to availability, performance, capacity, data integrity, and security, and define mitigation strategies.
End-to-End Platform & Application Integration
- Validate architectural dependencies across applications, shared services, integrations, environments, and infrastructure layers.
- Ensure platform services are properly sized, configured, and documented to support steady-state AMS operations.
- Provide recommendations for managing architectural complexity and technical debt.
Change Enablement & Transition Support
- Provide architectural oversight for transition-related changes, environment onboarding, and configuration updates.
- Validate technical impacts, readiness, and rollback strategies for proposed changes.
- Support controlled, ITSM-aligned change and release execution during transition.
Readiness & Acceptance Support
- Support transition readiness assessments by validating technical environments, tooling, access, monitoring, and documentation.
- Confirm that IADD artifacts, configuration baselines, and architecture diagrams accurately reflect the operational environment.
- Provide technical readiness input supporting formal transition acceptance.
