Carving Public Partnerships out of Public Consulting Group
Public Partnerships LLC separated from its parent, Public Consulting Group. The business needed its own Azure infrastructure and DevOps, CRM and Dynamics 365 platforms, virtual desktops, and contact-center technology—plus an exit from transition services and a parallel UK separation workstream.
Work performed by NSS founder Rakayat Nuruddin as an employee or consultant before founding NSS. These organizations are not NSS clients and do not endorse NSS.
The story
- The system challenge
- Technical milestones alone could not show whether the separated business was ready to run on its own. Readiness had to be proven across technology, operations, vendors, and people at the same time.
- Rakayat's role
- Senior technical engagement and IT project manager, promoted to Director of Delivery and Implementation Management.
A divestiture is not complete when the systems move. It is complete when the separated organization can operate independently.
Scope and complexity
- Approximately $25M program with 5 project managers and 12 workstream leads
- 45+ application, database, and file-share migrations
- Application portfolio rationalized from 250+ to roughly 150
- CRM platforms consolidated from 5 to 2
- Dry-run rehearsal and production cutover in December 2023, sequenced to the TSA exit
