I was responsible for creating and maintaining the Project Plan. I led the implementation of project controls, standards, methods, and templates. I led a group of 22 functional and technical resources comprised of a mixture of client, Confidential, and third-party resources throughout the project.
• Confidential was engaged to improve global HR/Payroll functions through the elimination of disparate systems and the implementation of PeopleSoft HRMS system. I was responsible for the day-to-day management of the applications development, security, data conversion, payroll interface to ADP, batch scheduling, system test, and cutover teams. We completed the project within the planned timeline and budget.
• Confidential was engaged to "finish the merger" through the consolidation of organization-wide HR/Payroll functions, elimination of legacy systems, the in-sourcing of the payroll function, development of a custom application designed to track daily-labor costs, and the implementation of the PeopleSoft HR, Payroll and Benefits applications. I led a 35-person team and completed the project a month early and under budget. I managed a multi-million project budget.
