Work with business process owners to understand business needs, navigate through legacy practices and layers to understand core business requirements, while driving adoption of industry best practice and preferred methods to arrive at an optimized system and process solution.

Evaluate requests for changes or enhancements by considering the capabilities of existing systems capabilities to satisfy these needs. Document the required functional specifications for requests submitted from internal users. Provide timely status reporting for assigned projects.
Review business change requests, provide cost/schedule estimate and then implement the solutions either directly through systems configuration or indirectly by working with internal and external development groups through the development of functional and technical specifications.
