Description

This role is under a hybrid work arrangement and requires working 3 days in the office at 40 St. Clair Ave. West Toronto and 2 days remote from home office within Ontario

The key deliverables for this role is to:

• Review and update the existing ECHO information Architecture (conceptual logical and physical) to ensure it is current to the latest build
• Develop a business intelligence (BI) data model (conceptual logical physical) based on the client needs
• Map the transaction data model to the BI data model

Map the UI data fields to logical model to business components and physical model as the system is on a Siebel platform. This will facilitate future data extraction from the transactional system

Note: Existing data model is documented in Power Designer. Updates to the existing model and the new model are to be also documented in Power Designer.

Responsibilities:

Conduct comprehensive information architecture needs assessment under the guidance and leadership of project leads and cluster architects
