Develop Target State Architecture (TSA) design and migration strategy by identifying applications and defining the target state solution to support migration workstreams, conducting application discovery and dependency mapping, developing application lists and migration waves, defining target-state architecture aligned with security, compliance, and governance, and developing high-level migration roadmaps.
Create blueprints for target environments including a bill of materials containing hosting assets and configuration details. The TSA Document will include a logical and physical network layout showing the relationship of hosts to LAN, WAN, and cloud/target environment.
Architecture Consultation & Migration Planning
Analyze data collection, refine Workstream Migration Plans, and optimize communication among stakeholders. Provide services including migration planning and execution, architecture consultation, application and data migration, disaster recovery infrastructure configuration, connectivity to AWS/Azure services, database migration, server buildout, network configuration, and integration into Active Directory.
Conduct and validate discovery and assessment information; facilitate application and technical workshops with stakeholders; review target architectures, migration strategies, and project plans; and develop detailed migration strategies, wave plans, and runbooks.
Cloud Architecture & Platform Services
Assess current architecture and map components to AWS/Azure IaaS services such as EC2/AMI, ExaData/SQL MI, Service Bus, and managed storage. Deploy and configure infrastructure aligned to client standards. Perform mandatory OS platform upgrades, changes, and re-platforming to meet minimum security standards. Provision all IaaS services using Harness, Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep.
Assess current architecture and map components to AWS/Azure PaaS services such as App Services, Functions, API Gateway, RDS/Azure SQL, Service Bus and managed storage. Make required code updates, configuration adjustments, connection string changes, and environment variable updates needed for compatibility with cloud PaaS services. Provision all PaaS services using Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep.
Governance & Technical Oversight
Participate in governance and review boards, ensuring technical oversight and troubleshooting throughout the migration process.
Develop migration strategy that includes wave planning, Target State Architecture Document, Migration Runbooks and Cutover Plans, technical governance, infrastructure testing, detailed cutover planning, and post-migration Hypercare support.
