Why we read it this way (6)
The degree requirement is flexible: a Bachelor's with 3 years of direct experience is the primary path, but the posting explicitly accepts an Associate's degree with more experience, or a High School diploma with relevant certifications and 7+ years of direct experience. Because equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree at every level, the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting lists 'IT governance, including system and configuration management, business continuity & forecasting' under the required qualifications section; it names no specific tool, so it is captured as a general required competency rather than a named technology.

Virtualization certifications (VMware Certified Professional, Citrix CCA-V, Microsoft Server/Virtualization, Linux, Cloud, Storage, Network/Security certifications) are listed as an alternative path to the degree requirement, not as a standalone preferred credential; they are captured as preferred given the overall context.
GxP pharmaceutical environment experience and Six Sigma are noted as 'a plus' in the posting.
