Objective
As a thought leader in the
SAP space, I am looking at bridging the gap between business and IT by enabling
positive change through people, process and systemic adjustments.
SUMMARY
I have been actively involved in the IT industry since 1991 and large integrated
system implementations since 1993. I hold a BSc. in Computer Science (1990) and
a diploma in Project Management. I have comprehensive SAP
project experience since 1996, with several full cycle system implementations
in each of the areas of my expertise. I have performed all of the following
functions during my career: change manager, project manager, team leader,
technical analyst, designer, configurer, programmer and trainer. I am truly a
team player with excellent technical, communication and leadership skills. I
can talk at an executive level all the way to the technical team. I can code in
the most complex environment and I can propose a process change solution to C
level execs. I throw in a good sense of humor for free.

Standards
/ versions implemented: ANSI X12: 4030, 4010
Helped manage the transition
from a company acquired in to the parent company. My main role was to
facilitate the EDI and workflow integration. EDI existed in both companies
prior to the acquisition and we had to move all EDI partners to a new
translator (Mercator to TLE) as well as move the parent company on to SAP. The
company has extensive EDI relationships on the customer side as well as the
supplier side. Workflow was a new innovation for the project. I spearheaded the
development of the required workflows as well as in excess of 15,000 lines of
EDI related code. I developed custom reports using control techniques. I
develop several custom EDI scenarios both inbound and outbound and did the
configuration for it. I liaised with the TLE mappers and spearheaded the
development of the mapping templates for them. Provided my own personalized
tools to process inbound IDoc errors and view IDocs in “English”.
