Design the standalone IT architecture, governance, and service delivery model for the carved-out entity. - Separation & Migration
Carve out applications, data, and infrastructure from the parent and migrate to new platforms or cloud environments. - TSA Management & Exit
Monitor service levels, optimize costs, and execute a structured, timely exit from TSA dependencies. - Stabilization & Optimization
Establish steady-state operations, resolve post-migration issues, and optimize IT landscape for scalability and efficiency.

Fully separated systems, applications, and infrastructure compliant with regulatory and audit requirements for a public listing. - Comprehensive Carve-Out Execution
Structured planning and migration ensured minimal disruption and timely delivery. - Successful TSA Exit
