I have been involved in multiple projects during my tenure in Infosys, key ones being described below:

The project involved the development of an end to end Sales system through SAP CRM to be used by the Sales Community for tracking and managing their Pursuits. I worked on defining and streamlining the complete Sales related process including Deal Pricing, Business Value Articulation, Order Management, Pipeline Management and Financial Reporting.

I was also responsible for implementing important processes like Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) automation, Deal Traceability to overcome scenarios of multiple opportunities for a single proposal, Risk Profiling, SAP Netweaver Identity Management and ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems).

In order to provide easy access to the system and its records offline with improved performance, a Smart client based Outlook application that can be accessed easily and workable offline was conceptualized. Using this tool Infosys Sales could key in data easily which synchronizes with backend SAP systems. The project involved building of outlook windows forms, a local SQLExpress database to store offline worked data and webservices which could connect to SAP backend.

With Infosys growing rapidly, there was a strong need felt to standardize pricing methodology and also to have control over margin. This was achieved through the implementation of Deal Pricing System. The application helped in doing pricing and profitability analysis.

The tool is used by top management to provide guidance to market every quarter end.

Another project was the development of a web application that serves as a robust ITIL compliant Incident, Problem, Change and Release Management Tool in internet where solutions are provided to the issues raised by Finacle (Banking Solution product by Infosys) clients from all over the world.
