  • Configure and customize the NEXGEN software to meet client specifications, leveraging best practices and innovative solutions to maximize value and user adoption.
  • Design and conduct comprehensive UAT sessions with client stakeholders to validate workflows and configurations, gather feedback, and ensure solutions meet business requirements.
  • Oversee the deployment process, ensuring a smooth transition to the client’s operational environment. Provide real-time support during go-live and address any immediate issues.
  • Provide post Go-Live support to clients, addressing issues and questions. Support project handoffs to support teams, ensuring customer acceptance and continuity post-go-live.
  • Maintain clear, proactive communication with clients, internal teams, and leadership throughout the project lifecycle. Document progress, decisions, and lessons learned to inform future implementations.
