EMPLOYMENT SUMMARY

AVID Technologies, Burlington, MA Oct 2013 – present

Role: SD Pricing Lead Consultant

Joined Avid to implement automated pricing between Salesforce and SAP for the

Federal Govt Customers who purchase from the GSA Schedule. Involved various

flavors of GSA pricing and calculation of IFF as well as specific rounding rules for

GSA. Also designed and developed specific ALV GSA reports for calculation of

Quarterly GSA Sales and the remitted IFF amount to Fed Govt.

Second Project was to implement a global time-based pricing solution for Avid’s support

contract renewal business using periodic billing. This involved 3 geographies and

multiple currencies to apply a generic solution which would address contract proration

and any specific rounding issues arising from that for multi-term contracts billed

annually, quarterly or a one-time billing plan. The solution had to interface with

Salesforce.com which raised the customer quotes but all pricing was called from SAP

except ‘additional manual discounts’.

Third project was to enhance the pricing extract changes when list prices was updated in

SAP and passed down to salesforce.com using ‘change pointers’. This involved both

configuration and custom programming to generate idocs (COND_A) to send down to

the Quoting System which needed upto date ‘active’ prices.

A fourth project was to identify areas of improving pricing performance when a price

call when salesforce.com called SAP for real-time prices when creating a customer

quote.
