- Monitor and manage project progress to ensure milestones are achieved and budgets are adhered to.
- Collaborate with the Services Manager to determine team development needs and support ongoing capability-building initiatives.
- Conduct pre-upgrade assessments and customer readiness reviews to ensure prerequisites are in place for a successful project start.
- Co-develop tailored upgrade project plans, considering customer priorities, operational constraints, and available resources.
- Champion post-upgrade activities aimed at helping customers extract the full value of new functionality or enhancements.
- Represent InterSystems in presales discussions to scope upgrade projects, provide input on timelines and resource estimates, and articulate delivery value.
