One of Tech9’s key clients is undertaking a critical initiative to document their animal hospital Practice Management System (PMS) as we build out a replacement development team and execute a team transition. Currently, there is minimal documentation on the PMS itself, creating significant knowledge transfer risks during this team transition.

The documentation created will serve as the foundation for successfully transitioning the PMS to a new development team while maintaining continuity and accelerating their ability to contribute effectively.

The initiative encompasses system documentation, technical architecture mapping, API documentation, developer guides, process documentation, and knowledge base creation. A core aspect of this role is to work closely with the current developers and engineers to extract knowledge during the transition period, while simultaneously creating resources that will enable new team members to quickly understand and work with the PMS.
