- Partner with infrastructure, security, clinical application owners, and data teams to design future-state integrations across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid workloads.
- Lead application assessments, migration strategies, and readiness analysis for hospital portfolios.
- Identify modernization patterns (rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, replace) for both clinical and non-clinical apps.
- Develop data-migration, integration, and high-availability strategies for EMR and ancillary systems.
- Collaborate with clinical informatics teams to ensure workflow continuity, minimal downtime, and robust cutover plans.
