Consultant, Biztech Systems Inc. Jun 97 to Feb 98
Client, Compaq Computer Corporation, (Corporate Returns System)
The modules of Oracle Financials used were OE, AR, INV and GL. This involved handling of incoming and
outgoing data files in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange using 180, 861, 864, 870, 863), flat file formats. We

services.
Consultant, Megasys Inc. Apr 96 to May 97
Client, KMART Corporation (Import Management System)
Designed and implemented system interface. The company had a bottleneck and issues with their process
involving - receive all the merchandise from overseas at one place and then distribute to the respective
distribution centers (DC’s). Earlier on they used to order the same item for different DC’s separately and thus
higher transportation cost, clerical cost etc. Moreover the Allocation of merchandise was done at a very early
stage i.e. at the time of ordering. With the implementation of this project the allocation could be done at the time
of receipt of material at the dock. The designed system has an interface with other systems i.e. Allocation,
Overseas Offices, Buyers, Consolidators, Deconsolidators etc. The inbound and outbound interfaces were
accomplished by using various EDI transactions namely (861, 850, 856, 810, 310, and 315).
