To continue modernizing our fax infrastructure, we must transition the Production B workflow environment supporting 294 groups and thousands of end-user accounts-each with unique workflows. This transition involves migrating business processes from one platform to another, requiring close collaboration with business users to ensure their workflows are adapted without adding extra steps or time.

The ideal candidate will not only support this transition but also identify opportunities to streamline operations using AI. This includes replacing manual steps and reducing the need for users to review fax images before proceeding.
