  • Oversee transitions including ISDN to SIP migration, PSTN retirement, PBX replacement or consolidation, and DDI migration to cloud platforms.
  • Produce detailed migration runbooks and fallback strategies to ensure service continuity.
  • Act as the technical design authority, scrutinizing and challenging third-party designs to ensure alignment with best practices.
  • Guarantee that quality of service, resilience, failover, and safety compliance are integrated into all solutions.
