Scoping infrastructure transformation
Clarify scope, operational constraints, dependencies and decision criteria before committing to a roadmap.

Aurèle Soyez
Senior Project Manager, IT Infrastructure & Transformation
I manage infrastructure projects from initial scoping to operational handover.
Data centres, networks, virtualisation and service continuity: I clarify scope, costs and risks, then coordinate teams and vendors through acceptance testing and operational handover.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
The challenges I take on
Transformations where architecture, security, budget, operations and governance must stay aligned.
I make options comparable, prepare decisions and maintain an executable roadmap through stabilisation.
Architecture, cost and risk decisions
Compare scenarios beyond the headline price: compatibility, skills, operations, exit options, security and costs shifted elsewhere.
Security built into the roadmap
Consider security, continuity, compliance and monitoring requirements from initial project scoping.
Multi-stakeholder and vendor governance
Align decision-makers, systems, network, security, operations, procurement and integration teams around explicit responsibilities.
Recovering projects under pressure
Establish the facts, clarify blockers, prioritise decisions and rebuild a roadmap that can actually be delivered.
Delivery through stabilisation
Track dependencies, prepare cutovers, manage risk and maintain oversight until operations are stable.

APPROACH
Connecting technology, governance and decisions
I work on transformations technical enough to demand rigour and cross-functional enough to require more than a technical solution.
I work with systems, network, security and operations specialists to turn their constraints into explicit decisions and a manageable roadmap.
My contribution lies in scoping, dependency analysis, decision preparation and keeping decision-makers, internal teams and vendors aligned.
The aim is to reduce ambiguity, control risk and deliver transformation while preserving service continuity.
