Enterprise Architecture and Digital Transformation Leadership
Ozman's leadership of the NextTech Application Modernization Project at Adidas completely transformed the company's legacy AS400 system into a modern, cloud-based platform using Microsoft Power Platform. The project delivered substantial financial savings while dramatically improving operational efficiency and user experience. His work eliminated legacy inefficiencies and enabled faster deployment of new applications across the enterprise.
The Adidas Manufacturing Production System (AMPS) that Ozman architected and developed has become a model for manufacturing workflow optimization. The system enables real-time status updates and enhanced auditing processes that have set new industry standards. "The migration from unsupported legacy systems to scalable, low-code/no-code cloud environments represents the future of enterprise computing," Ozman noted regarding his transformational work.
His comprehensive experience spans Microsoft 365 implementations, including Azure Active Directory, Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and the complete Power Platform suite. This breadth of technical knowledge gives him unique insights into enterprise-scale technology adoption and business transformation. His work at Redapt, Inc. included modernizing information access systems and implementing advanced security and compliance frameworks using Microsoft Purview.
Innovation in Power Platform and AI Integration
Ozman's expertise extends beyond traditional enterprise architecture into cutting-edge artificial intelligence applications and low-code/no-code development platforms. His recent advocacy for Microsoft Copilot Studio training demonstrates his commitment to bridging existing Power Platform skills with AI agent development. Industry analysts project the low-code/no-code market will reach $65 billion by 2027, with AI-powered platforms driving significant growth.
"Approximately 70 percent of Copilot Studio builds on the Power Platform foundation, allowing developers to leverage existing knowledge of Power FX formulas, connectors, and business logic," Ozman explained in his recent analysis of Microsoft's AI training initiatives. His technical portfolio encompasses SharePoint architecture from legacy versions through current cloud implementations and extensive experience with Azure Data Factory and PowerShell automation.
