Use available technical tools, logs, and data to identify root causes and determine the appropriate resolution or escalation. Configure and test approved changes and enhancements to existing flat-file and API integrations. Coordinate with Integration Solutions when client, business, or requirements clarification is needed. Support go-live, stabilization, and transition to ongoing production support for flat-file and API integrations. Escalate new API development, integration architecture decisions, product defects, security concerns, and issues outside CDI’s technical scope to the appropriate teams.
