IT Consultants (4) in Migration and Architecture for the National Board of Health and Welfare

Project overview

Assignment Description

Four senior consultants will each perform a specific role in architecture, technical leadership, system development, and migration.

Chief Architect Infrastructure

The consultant, together with the project manager and other key personnel in leading roles, will drive the transformation project that the National Board of Health and Welfare is undertaking in its IT infrastructure. Furthermore, architectural proposals need to be developed on how various environments and platforms can be better adapted and modernized to meet these requirements.

Senior Architect and Development Lead

The assignments include responsibility for technical architecture, establishment of common development patterns and infrastructure components, leadership of DevSecOps work, operational system development, and development and application of structured working methods for AI-assisted system development.

Microsoft Infrastructure Architect

The assignment includes design, planning, and execution of large migrations from legacy environments to modern, secure, and scalable Microsoft platforms (on-prem, hybrid, and Azure). Typical tasks include migration of servers, Active Directory, virtualized environments, networks, and identity management, as well as ensuring high availability, security, and minimal operational disruption in a regulated public environment.

Migration Architect Infrastructure

The consultant will act as an operational senior architect and technical leader responsible for designing, implementing, and leading the migration of entire data center environments – from legacy to modern infrastructure. The role requires an extremely experienced profile who both designs the architecture and carries out implementation, migration, cutover, and stabilization in a regulated public environment with high demands on security, availability, and compliance (GDPR, NIS2, MSB).

For more information about each consultant role, see the respective role appendix.
