• Define standardized interfaces, data contracts, and security controls to ensure seamless interoperability between communications platforms, edge devices, monitoring/analytics, and cloud services.
• Establish solution acceptance criteria and run-readiness (SLAs/SLOs, resilience, failover, monitoring, support model) to guarantee lifecycle performance and client satisfaction.
• Partner with delivery, operations, and support teams to hand over an integrated service that maintains solution integrity over time.
• Support commercial teams by shaping solution packages (scope, assumptions, pricing drivers) and articulating integrated value in client presentations and proposals.
• Identify opportunities for modernization and innovation (e.g., AI/ML, edge computing, IoT).
