Quality Assurance & UAT:
  • Coordinate with QA teams to ensure Platform solutions are thoroughly tested, free of defects, and meet business requirements.
  • Oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT) processes, ensuring any issues are resolved before go-live.
  • Ensure project deliverables meet Platform best practices, and technical documentation is complete.
Post-Implementation Support:

  • Support ongoing enhancement requests, maintenance activities, and platform optimization efforts.
