Identify and resolve complex data discrepancies, orphaned records, or corrupted files before and during migration.
Configure data transformation pipelines for ingestion into OpenText repositories and SharePoint document libraries.
Deconstruct complex OnBase Workflows and WorkView applications and translate business logic into Camunda BPMN models and process flows.
Support parallel testing, dual-run strategies, and post-migration validation to ensure system integrity and compliance.
Document legacy system configurations, migration mappings, technical workflows, and final decommissioning procedures.

Solid understanding of document management practices in Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText Content Suite/xECM, and/or Camunda process automation.
Experience with high-volume document migration, data validation, hash verification, and audit tracking.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
