Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with clients to inform strategy and design and ensure standards are met throughout the cloud migration process.

You’ll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You’ll lead your team as they help the client overcome its most difficult challenges in the cloud. Additionally, you’ll broaden your skill set while developing critical systems for the client.
