THE DELIVERY METHOD

A change programme
made legible.

PROBLEM

Move the platform without losing the service.

Requirements, records, interfaces, staff readiness and live operations had to stay connected across the cutover.

ROLE

Hold the technical and operational picture at once.

Project leadership sat alongside analysis, migration planning, integrations, testing and production readiness.

DELIVERY

Turn a long dependency chain into a sequence.

The work moved through requirements, data migration, integrations, testing, readiness and governance.

CONTINUITY

Keep dependent services connected.

The Medad Wrapper API reproduced required Symphony API behavior for platforms such as EBSCO Stacks.

Nine tools,
one operating layer.

Small utilities become meaningful when they share a domain, a data model and a maintenance habit.

THE HANDOFFSee the engineering surface ↗
ACTIVE TOOLKIT / 01Records

Keep record maintenance precise when the platform has to stay in motion.
