    As a Strategic advisor in LABUR's CIO Advisory and Transformation Services Practice, I provide executive-level advisory services to improve the business technology value proposition for LABUR’s consulting clients. Primary service offerings include digital transformation, IT portfolio management, ERP Selection, Packaged Solution Delivery, and M&A technology integration.One example of such a project included providing M&A IT integration advisory services in which LABUR was asked to help the client:• determine which applications, systems and tools would need to be retained i.e., SAP for the acquiring company versus custom and packaged systems for target company, • create a conceptual design of its future state technical architecture, • validate and document in-scope future state business processes and • develop and organizational change assessment to help client understand the people and organizational considerations of the acquisition.I work on business development initiatives and sales pursuits, as needed, to secure projects based on the various service offerings LABUR provides. This might involve qualifying opportunities, developing solicited and unsolicited proposals, creating Statement of Work (SOWs), project charters, staffing plans, and establishing executive steering committees and governance structures. I also help organizations determine their modernization strategy (Replace/ReHost (lift and shift)/Re-platform/RePurchasing/ReArchitecting/Refactor/Retire/Retain) and select the most appropriate cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) and how they are best used and integrated with the client's technical architecture.
