Delivered joint implementation plans to ensure seamless migration of planned 2k users in FY25 and 4k in FY26. Orchestrated processes of IT deployment capabilities, identified the teams to conduct the IT desktop deployment, and guided the coalition to develop the customer communications plan. Lobbied for additional technicians and workspace to support the larger IT footprint that the DIA/CIO directorate will be responsible for. The platform deployment will offer a significantly improved IC platform standardization, enhanced desktop reliability, and world-class security compliance, allowing critical staff to produce defense mission/budget products for the SECDEF.

Migrating key services out of the DIA HQ datacenter will also benefit long past due EOL/EOS datacenter storage by upgrading gear at both RRMC and Cheyenne Mountain, CO. Formulated a multi-division stakeholder coalition to identify Enterprise shortcomings and to establish an Enterprise Datacenter failover capability providing Intelligence clients with mitigated downtime in the event RRMC goes into a disconnected state.
