PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

THE CHARMER SUNBELT GROUP

Project Manager (2006 – August 2013)

Planned, executed and directed information technology projects for many functional

areas including ERP (SAP) conversions, disaster recovery, web-based systems and

system upgrades. Controlled resources, budgets and schedules to keep projects on track

with the baseline. Continuously developed and improved the Program Management

Office procedures and guidelines.

Key Projects:

• ERP Conversions: Led full system conversions from legacy systems to SAP for

seven distribution centers, resulting in savings of over 1 million dollars annually

through operational efficiencies and hardware consolidations. Projects included

the migration of major business functions into SAP: sales, purchasing,

warehousing, finance, human resources, accounts receivable, and payroll. Over

50 people reported to me on these initiatives including IT professionals,

consultants and business associates. The budgets for these projects ranged from

2.5 to 4.5 million dollars each.

• Web Application Development: Headed two projects to write and improve a

web based goal tracking system used by sales associates and managers, resulting

in an 8 percent average increase in sales by the participants. The results of the

goal tracking were interfaced to the payroll system to automate compensation for

salespeople. Both projects had budgets of approximately 1.3 million dollars each.

• Disaster Recovery: Directed the replacement of the disaster recovery technology

and procedures for Tier I and Tier II applications at an offsite data center. This

provided a more scalable DR solution that was over 50 percent faster and resulted

in a better SLA for system uptime. The budget for this project was 850,000

dollars.

• System Upgrades: Managed projects to upgrade the SAP landscape to version

ECC 6.0, apply annual patch upgrades to the SAP system, upgrade the accounts

payable web portal to include virtual invoice renditions, and converted the SQL

database to the Unicode format.

• Warehousing: Managed a project to consolidate two warehouses into one and

provide a separate cross dock location. Directed the project team in physically and

logically moving the inventory to the new facility. Integrated the SAP system

with RF devices, transportation planning, voice picking systems, and an

automated conveyor system.

• Reporting: Managed a successful Sales and Operations Planning project to

extract operational data from SAP and use Microsoft Analysis Services to process

and automate reports, saving approximately 100 hours of manual data

manipulation per month.

Lead Analyst (2000 – 2006)

Led project teams specializing in software development for warehouse management and

logistics. Worked with executive management to create software solutions that provided

value to customers and employees. Managed team to provide application development

for 4 beverage distributors with over 40 integrated software systems.

Key Accomplishments:

• Led development teams to integrate distributions systems with warehouse

management systems and transportation planning systems.

• Developed integrations to a Sales Force Automation solution which provided

sales associates the ability to place orders and view real time data while out in the

field.

• Designed and implemented EDI solutions for purchasing, inbound customer
