SUMMARY
** ***** ********** ** ****** analysis, design, development and project
management of workflow and Information Lifecycle Management projects for
SAP customers, I have obtained a particular focus on the design of
solutions based upon SAP technology, translation of user needs to the
delivery of functional and technical specifications. Having worked
extensively within the Pharmacutical, defence and nuclear industries I am
trained to work within tightly regulated environments and validated
systems.
I have combined experience gained working for the major document management
and workflow providers, including FileNet, Documentum, IXOS(OpenText) and
Easy Software with a sound SAP background. Specialist areas include
integration of document management, ILM (SAP data archiving) and workflow
technologies. I also have experience in the design and development of
third party interfaces for software solutions wishing to interface with
SAP.
As a certified SAP ABAP developer with specialist skills covering the
integration of Workflow, document management, including the design and
development of interfaces using Web Services, idoc and Java connectivity.
Introducing technology which impacts both the technical SAP landscape and
the business process employed by the organisation requires that I spend a
significant amount of time socialising the business process and technical
changes throughout my customers, this has enabled me to build a strong set
of communication skills enabling me to ensure that projects gain acceptance
both technicaly and by the business process owners.
Other areas of expertise include delivery of shared service purchase to pay
processing solutions; Project management of SAP projects and the
decommissioning of old SAP servers as part of an ILM strategy.
My customers include heavily regulated blue chip organisations working
within the pharmaceutical, energy, nuclear and defence industry sectors.

K2 - ABB Switzerland: Lead Architect
(Strategy for ILM and decommissioning Old SAP System during Data Migration
Project)
July 2008 - Dec 2008
. My role for ABB has been to architect the long term solution for the
management and decommissioning of their SAP system landscape. This has
provided me with the challenge of having to provide a common
architecture for 9 logical business units spread across Switzerland.
Having to manage expectations at a senior level and gain the trust of
the key stake holders within each of the business units. A
significant amount of my time was spent designing the architecture for
the solution and then ensuring that the key stake holders were
comfortable with the planned approach.
. Providing advice on both the technical, legal and business needs of
the decommissioning of nine SAP solutions which have been consolidated
into one server. This required analysis from a legal and compliance
perspective, a technical "how can we do this" angle along with a
detailed understanding of the needs of the individual business units.
Much of my time was spent in discussion with the individual business
units across Switzerland negotiating the access requirements to the
old data not archived. Part of the project was to propose and
evaluate different technical solutions to decommissioning, this
involved creation of functional specifications and negotiations with
third party suppliers.
In addition to this project I also carried out analysis of both the
documentation standards and change procedures for change requests with a
view to making recommendations to improve both quality and project success.
. Evaluation of existing plans for SAP server consolidation and server
decommissioning.
. Analysis of business requirements for access to data from
decommissioned SAP servers.
. Analysis of legal and compliance issues.
. Formulation and design of a Business Warehouse Strategy for handling
old data from SAP servers to be decommissioned.
. Recommendation of ILM strategy for new consolidated SAP platform. The
creation of a white paper to provide ABB with a strategic direction
for ILM strategy.

compliance purposes.
