About the Role

We're sourcing a Business Analyst on behalf of a client undertaking a multi-year modernization initiative to retire legacy technology and transition to a unified, cloud-native environment. The organization serves a large membership base (200,000+ individuals) across hundreds of partner institutions, making this one of the largest technology modernization efforts of its kind in the state.

The initiative centers on building a modern, Azure-hosted administration system that integrates with existing member- and employer-facing portals. The technology stack includes Angular, REST APIs, Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Function Apps, Power BI, and a document management/process automation platform (currently in evaluation).

Current program state:

• Legacy systems have completed migration from on-premises hosting to Azure (as of May 2024)
• The member-facing portal was modernized in July 2025
• IT resources are supporting legacy systems while simultaneously building the modernized replacement
• A project charter and SDLC are established and in active practice
• The environment and foundation for modern applications is nearing completion

Program goals: full retirement of legacy platforms, reduced manual work and errors, faster turnaround times, improved document workflows, stronger security posture, greater system resilience, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
