We're running a short, paid research study on the hands-on work of integrating, migrating, and modernizing technology systems — consolidating ERPs, merging finance and back-office systems, migrating data, connecting or replacing legacy software, and getting companies onto a common stack. We want to talk with people who have personally done this work and seen projects through end-to-end — from scoping and planning through cutover and stabilization — and who can speak to the technical details of what actually happened: data migration, system configuration, integration architecture, what broke, and how it got fixed. Experience doing this in a post-merger or acquisition context (combining systems across newly acquired companies) is a strong plus, but not required. Especially keen to hear from: - ERP / systems integration consultants (independent or at SI firms) - IT or systems leads who ran integrations in-house - Solution architects or technical leads on migration projects - Data migration specialists - Fractional or consulting CIOs/CTOs who owned integration work hands-on To take part, you should be US-based and have personally worked on multiple systems integration or migration projects in the last five years — contributing to the actual work, not just managing from a distance. 30–60 min video call, roughly $100/hr prorated. To apply, please walk us through your systems integration experience in detail. For each role or engagement, include: - The company or client, and the specific years you were there (e.g., "2021–2023") - The size of the companies or deals involved (revenue, employees, industry, or deal size) - Your role and specific responsibilities on the project - What the project involved end-to-end — what you personally did at each phase - The exact systems you integrated or migrated, by name (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Sage, QuickBooks, Salesforce, Workday) — or at least the general category - Whether any of this was in a post-merger / acquisition context The more specific detail on what you actually did, the better. Applications without these specifics won't be considered.

Responsibilities * Review technical standards, implementation guides, and engineering documentation. * Validate technical accuracy, completeness, and consistency. * Identify design gaps and recommend improvements based on industry best practices. * Provide practical feedback based on real-world deployment experience. Desired Experience * 10+ years designing or engineering enterprise electronic security systems. * Experience with enterprise access control, CCTV, intrusion detection, and supporting infrastructure. * Experience developing or reviewing technical standards, implementation guides, or engineering documentation. * Experience supporting Fortune 500 corporate campuses, data centers, or other large enterprise environments. * Strong technical writing and documentation review skills.

1. What the automation must do The automation must watch the shared Outlook inbox from 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST and look for emails that contain specific instruction keywords. If any keyword is found in the subject OR body, the automation must immediately send a message to a Microsoft Teams channel. That’s the entire purpose. 2. What emails look like Emails come from ~75 clients Subject lines vary Body text contains instructions Each email includes one Excel attachment (not used for automation) 3. Keywords that must trigger an alert These words below are the exact phrases must trigger the workflow: Change CU Size Update Create Redeem Update CU Size Add Create Redeem Delete CU Size Suspense Effective immediately Effective today If ANY of these appear in the subject OR body → send Teams alert 4. What the Teams alert must include The Teams message must show: Sender Subject Timestamp Keyword(s) detected Link to the email 5. Deadline The goal is to detect all critical instructions before 11:45 AM EST. SIMPLE FLOWCHART Code Email arrives in shared Outlook inbox │ ▼ Extract subject + body text │ ▼ Does subject OR body contain ANY keyword? │ ┌───────┴────────┐ │ │ YES NO │ │ ▼ ▼ Identify which keyword Ignore email │ ▼ Send Teams alert with: - Sender - Subject - Timestamp - Keyword found - Link to email Step 1 — Trigger Use: When a new email arrives (V3) Select the shared inbox. Step 2 — Get email details Use: Get email (V3) Extract: Subject Body Step 3 — Check for keywords Add a Condition block: Check if subject OR body contains ANY of these phrases: “Change CU Size” “Update Create Redeem” “Update CU Size” “Add Create Redeem” “Delete CU Size” “Suspense” “Effective immediately” “Effective today” (Make this case‑insensitive.) Step 4 — If YES → Send Teams alert Use: Post message in a chat or channel Message must include: Sender Subject Timestamp Keyword detected Link to email Step 5 — If NO → Do nothing Notes for Developers do not need to open or read the Excel attachment. You do not filter by sender — scan all emails. You do not use AI or machine learning — this is simple keyword matching. You must scan both subject and body. Alerts must be immediate, not scheduled. Keywords must be exact matches, except urgency words like “change” or “update,” which can be partial matches. The workflow must run only between 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM EST. I need the map so I can recreate it at work using automate. Please advice if this clear, how long does it take to build this and the exact cost
