Jim performed a particularly complex migration from our Cisco ASA/Firepower to a new Palo Alto that included multiple VPNs, many NATs and security rules and three separate GlobalProtect VPNs with SAML authentication. After his prep work, we were only down for four hours during the switch. Top notch migration.
