OTTO A. TIANGA
AVE, MIAMI, FL ****5 • MOBILE 305-***-**** • EMAIL ****.*.******@*****.*** Currently seeking a position in which I can apply my fifteen years of experience working with ERP solutions and Higher Education. I feel my hard work and dedication to customer satisfaction makes me a good candidate.
Most recently, I have been growing my client base working as an independent contractor. While focused on providing quality implementation services in Higher Ed I have shifted my knowledge base to include HRMS and Financials Products.
At the University of Miami, I was the Financials Technical Analyst during the design and rollout of Workday's HRMS and Financials Modules on cloud technology. Before UM, I was fortunate to work within the Studentg Services area. First, I returned to FIU and participated in the creation of the Concierge unit, built around the one-stop-shop model. It was followed by a full-time position in Enrollment Services.
I served in a leadership role with two small implementation consulting companies directing the management of resources where my responsibilities included the recruiting, staffing and professional development of employees, the allocation of hardware and software, and new employee orientation. Additionally, I managed the hosting of a PeopleSoft environment that included training and testing labs. I also served at Lorain County Community College’s PeopleSoft 9.0 implementation managing the daily coordination of such resources as project team personnel, physical hardware and hosting of the PeopleSoft Environment. Responsibilities included developing training plans, preparing senior management presentations and worked as the first line of defense for project bottlenecks. My prior experience was working for SunGard Higher Education, my role was to perform Business Process Review Sessions to determine specific institutional needs and present SunGards Suite of ERP Solutions. At the same time, I collaborated with the sales team and members of management to meet sales goals. In other relevant experience, I worked for the Campus Management Corporation performing product demonstrations and sales support for the CampusVue software suite. I worked with the following CampusVue modules: CRM, Fundraising & Alumni, Admissions & Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Accounting, and HR/Payroll.
Additionally, I was Lead Test Analyst during Florida International University’s PeopleSoft 8.0 implementation. In this role, I supervised the testing and training staff. I ensured user acceptance testing for Admissions & Recruiting, Student Records, Financial Aid, and Student Financials. In addition, I worked with other project leads to prepare and present product demonstrations and training presentations highlighting new functionality.
My experience in the fields of consulting, implementation, operations, sales, systems development, project management and design has given me valuable perspective on the higher education industry. I will bring to your organization a motivated individual recognized for increasing project productivity who is an effective team player with excellent communication skills.
