Yes, and it is a substantial move. An ICT system integration consultant already covers 30% of what an ICT change and configuration manager is expected to do: 7 skills carry over, 7 of which the ICT change and configuration manager role treats as required.

10 required skills are missing, plus 19 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by information and communication technologies (icts). The single most important is manage software releases.

Its learning distance is 72.2 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
