- Support post-acquisition contract integration, including assignment and change-of-control review and consolidation of overlapping agreements, under the direction of the VP, Legal

Enables real-time provisioning, mobile credentials (Apple Wallet, Google Wallet), visitor/contractor access, and automated lifecycle management across a portfolio.
