• Evaluate vendors and solution options (EMS, subscription, bundling platforms) and provide architecture driven recommendations
• Translate complex business models into clear architectural designs, standards, and integration patterns
• Support executive-level discussions with concise architecture views, tradeoffs, and roadmap implications.
