Dynamics AX Solution Architect | Senior Functional Consultant

Responsibilities:

Scope: Confidential project was roughly similar to Schüco implementation (below), but the scale was 10X larger. Deployed a single global instance of Dynamics AX for 140 operational entities in over 40 countries. Tasks performed: project definition, solution engineering, requirements gathering, business process reengineering, functional design, system build, system deployment, and post-launch support.
Denmark during March - July, and rescued a failed implementation of AX. Used Denmark project as basis for template and worldwide rollout.
In Canada, the AX implementation was halfway complete when Microsoft launched a major upgrade to Dynamics AX. Within a month, I learned the new version and launched it.

ERP Project Manager | Business Analyst

Responsibilities:

Proof-of-Concept: Schüco had already installed SAP for its main ERP and planned to use Dynamics AX - an optimal choice for Schüco’s overseas subsidiaries.
Background: existing system used Excel (no automation). The corporate CIO was skeptical that AX could be adapted for Schüco’s aluminum-building-facades BU, due to complex product options and business rules. But SAP was overkill - an inefficient solution.
Solution: Applied the “Product Builder” feature of AX - complemented by my personal knowledge of manufacturing and assembly operations - and created a working AX prototype, which won CIO’s approval.
Actions and Results: Identified requirements, defined scope and schedule, and documented process gaps. Within first 6 months, implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX for financial operations and Solar Division BU. During next 8 months, implemented AX for the aluminum BU - considered an “impossible” feat by CIO. Created a data scrubbing-and-validation application that migrated 15 years of financial data. and Mentoring: Trained staff on AX, some of whom became AX Consultants. I communicate with them frequently - my personal network of AX experts who can find the answer to any problem.

Confidential, Yalesville, CT

ERP Project Manager

Responsibilities:

ERP Project: As IIS grew during mid-1980s, the company had to process voluminous details and data to keep up with client demand, but existing IT could not handle volume. Managed development life cycle for ERP - from initial meeting with BUs through programming and implementation.
Maintained ERP Project: Inherited an ERP system (“Growth Power”) with no documentation, especially problematic because IIS had done extensive customization to the original system.
Results: New ERP vastly improved sales processing, inventory management, and corporate reporting (over 900 reports). Improved productivity of A/R, A/P, G/L, purchasing, manufacturing, inventory, and facilities management.
Architectural-Structural Projects: In addition to CAD and ERP, repeatedly called in to solve difficult engineering and design challenges - leveraged troubleshooting skills and structural-design experience.
