Project Manager, team leader and a developer of the International Royalty Licensing Reporting and Forecasting ASP.NET/SQL Server web application.
Transformed a complex manual global licensing model for 40+licensees and 28 currencies into an efficient, understandable website portal that allows for locally provided forecasts, reporting of actual results, invoice creation and addresses all contract reporting requirements.
The client 1st evaluated leading software packages and determined that the complexity of the business model was too demanding of the and was skeptical that a solution was possible. Designed a solution that not only met all requirements, it exceeded all expectations while allowing the application to instantaneously adapt to fast-changing business needs.
Lately, when Converse evaluated moving to SAP and retire as many legacy applications as possible, these 2 applications were among the few which were deemed vital for the business and could not be replaced by SAP functionality.
Both of these applications continue to receive accolades within Converse and recognition even with its parent company, Nike.
Other client activities include:
Dunkin' Donuts, Nortel Networks, Compaq, Osram Sylvania, HP, KeyPort Insurance, Gillette and more
Dunkin' Donuts: Developed numerous applications in support of Marketing and Franchisee management operations. Examples include:Documented and analyzed the business processes of the prototype Digital Menu Board program and identified critical technical and process limitations. Developed a ASP.NET application to manage the enrollment of Franchisees in the Digital Menu Board program. Developed a C# .Net application which creates custom Planograms for monthly POP material rollouts.Project Manager, Co-designer and developer of Classic ASP web applications with Oracle db schemas to attract Franchisee applicants and to internally manage the screening and approval process of becoming a Franchisee.

Technologies included JSP, Java, Java Beans, Clarify 12.0 business objects, First Choice APIs, Oracle 9i and Perl scripts.
Compaq: Developed a Classic ASP web application to track the Compaq's implementation process for SAP R/3. The application allows users to see how data is sourced from legacy applications and fed to SAP, what the data is intended to represent from a local business perspective and where the data is used in SAP. Built a VB based tool that calls SAP remote function calls (RFCs) using SAP OLE. The RFCs directly pass data from SAP to the calling application. In addition to being a stand-alone application, this logic is implemented into several tools which used/analyzed SAP data/processes.
Osram Sylvania:In support of a SAP Data Warehouse implementation, developed over 100 Cognos Impromptu reports and re-designed Cognos PowerPlay cube processes .Co-developed a tool to automate a re-pricing process. The client has thousands of different products marketed through several channels, a complicated pricing processes and produces camera ready copy for a series of complex price schedules (lists). This tool provides an online analysis interface to help product managers understand current position, competitor direction, and help determine a new price position. The application communicates with SAP R/3: receiving product and pricing information and passing along the finalized pricing records to load into the SAP pricing module.
