On behalf of Plasticard-Locktech International & Enterprise Holdings, Inc. | Drive the Delivery and Architecture teams in the production and maintenance of as-built and future state architectural and design artifacts for their respective technology areas in line with Atos best practice standards and expectations of content and delivery. Owned the verification of the operations technical and support documentation including resolution of capturing the unknowns across the technical estate (Architecture/System Maps, As-builts, Operations Guides, Runbooks, etc.). Also, act as a single point of contact across Atos practices for the client application/data/infrastructure estate while ensuring the integrity of the technical elements.
Acted as a Solution Architect/Enterprise Architect and provided an IT roadmap of future innovation and enhanced my client’s current mode of operation in preparation for the future. This consisted of presenting to the account teams (stakeholders) of my client and my company. To accomplish this, I hosted meetings with the stakeholders from each company to present to them the benefits of whatever the new technology was that I brought before them. Not only did I do this with the software but hardware as well (i.e., laptops/desktops/tablets for end-users). Outside of my presentations, to maintain an open relationship with my clients, I would conduct quarterly meetings to discuss my client's/stakeholder's pain points and get a wish list of where they wanted to be in the future and what they wanted to take care of in the here and now. Also, the client was free to call a meeting whenever they desired. In addition to the quarterly meetings, we did have cross-functional weekly meetings where topics coincided and presented another touch point to communicate on the IT roadmap.
