What you’ll do:
Work with stakeholders to understand the business strategy and plan how the enterprise systems landscape should evolve to enable it, for instance in line with new goals or availability of new technologies.

Help identify synergy opportunities for enterprise systems, e.g through consolidation of separate application instances.
Work with stakeholders to ensure that enterprise system lifecycles are managed to reduce obsolescence risk and cost.
Define and maintain artefacts such as the Enterprise-IT Applications Catalogue, landscape views, road maps and standards.
