ID Connect) Integration with directories/IDM (AD, AAD, LDAP, group IAM...) Implementation and migration of MFA/strong authentication Support for the migration of consuming applications (web, API, mobile, partners) Main Missions: Project Management Build and maintain the detailed schedule, budget, and resource plan Organize and lead steering committees and technical committees (COPIL, COTEC) Coordinate all stakeholders: security, infrastructure, network, application teams, vendors, integrators, production Monitor risks, dependencies, the action plan, and trade-offs (prioritization, milestones) Migration Management Build the migration strategy from Migration of the existing solution to the target: Prioritization of applications and workflows; Coexistence strategy / gradual switchover; Reversibility / fallback plan ; Managing the POC, pilot, acceptance testing, and rollout phases; Coordinating production deployments, switchovers, and coexistence periods; Ensuring communication and support for client application teams using SSO; Testing, security, compliance: Defining and monitoring the testing strategy: functional, technical, load, security; Ensuring that security requirements are met (IAM, strong authentication, banking regulatory compliance); Validating coverage of availability, performance, and resilience requirements (SLA/SLO, DRP/BCP); Documentation & transfer to Operations: Managing the production of project, operational, and architectural documentation; Organizing knowledge transfer to the Operations / Access Control / Support teams ; Ensuring that ITIL processes (incident, change, problem) are adapted to the new solution
