In my 17+ years as a Siebel technician I have been in all main project roles
(Except PM and Tech TeamLead, and that is by choice).
Siebel Developer,
Siebel Architect,
Siebel Business Analyst,
Siebel Tester,
Siebel Administrator,
Siebel Trainer,
Vendor Coordinator (on & offshore).
My work has always been accepted and appreciated for its effectiveness and logic. I have a high rate of re-hires with all of my previous clients.
In these 17 years I have worked on most if not all groups of Siebel Data Models. This has enabled me to add intelligent Siebel data modeling as a strong item to my skill set.
The fact that I have done so many projects in so many countries, cultures and business-areas makes me confident to very quickly and effectively translate implicit and explicit business requirements into 'Siebelese' and deliver high functioning customizations.
