Technical Director over technical/basis work and determine

feasibility for improvements. This is a high visibility role

requiring communication to all levels of the Army. Defining

the five-year plan and developing innovative processes to

complete transition/migration of work efficiently, is required

with communication with the Project Director, CTO and COLONEL.

An example We performed a performance analysis and found several

parameter issues and outdated hardware. We proposed a

comprehensive performance package. The approach was to apply

updated parameter values and then migrate the hardware already

performed 100% better cutting payroll jobs from 72 to 43 hrs.

The Hardware move to their production ECC system from

ten-year-old hardware to new hardware while migrating from

Veritas File Systems to Oracle ASM. This is where the most

significant performance difference was realized. The payroll jobs

ran in less than sixteen hours and user response times were at an

all time low at less than 2.5 seconds for a dialog process. This

lead to the Army declaring this the best Year End Close on

record.
