Due to several internal projects like PSH, HRCules and Salesforce but also projects like ProArc and the connection of ProArc to Shared tools, our client will undergo major changes in processes and in the existing IT system architecture.

To have a clear understanding of this impact we need a clear picture of the future state IT system architecture including systems, system interfaces, data flows, user interfaces, connection to information systems, etc.
In particular this future system architecture needs to be identified to have a good understanding of the various changes these projects will bring.

Next to this future system architecture overview we know that changes of the existing interfaces will be necessary. These changes need to be added to the future variant of the system architectural overview.
To create this clear future state IT system architecture and manage the changes in the interfaces between the various systems we are looking for an IT professional that can deliver these products.
So one of the tasks is to design/develop the structure of our future computerized systems architecture and make a list of the changes/impact to the existing systems architecture.

A second that is that the IT professional must be capable to describe/develop the necessary changes to existing interfaces or new interfaces. This by setting up a functional description of the change/new-build interface and do a warm handover to the development organization, manage the delivery and test the delivered interface solution.
