Aug/2011 – Feb/2012 Consulting SOA Solution Architect for City of Toronto Worked on creation of SOA Shared Services and Domain Architecture for City of Toronto cross-divisional scheduler multi-year initiative, a generic reusable booking and scheduling coarse-grained business service and entity service layer based on WSDL, SOAP, XSD and WS-CAF (WS-Context, WS-CF, WS-TXN) protocol stack. Defined strategic and operational goals aligning 311 Contact Center immediate short term IT capabilities (adding 311 phone and IVR sales channels to registration / payment business process supported by existing CLASS based Parks & Forest Recreation program/activity/course scheduling application ensuring PCI DSS compliance) with long-term business capabilities (cross-divisional calendar-driven and master-schedule driven appointments, meetings, group events, and booking scheduling and notification services). Produced SWOT analysis of complex integration options involving different SW/HW COTS vendors, internal divisions (Court Services, Toronto Buildings, Facility and Real estate Division, Municipal Licenses and Standards, Children Services, Parks Forests and Recreation, etc.), and business constraints (vendor relations, budget constraints). Created enterprise domain model for booking and scheduling consisting of >100 entities. Created hierarchy of reusable XML schemas based on enterprise domain model.
