Project History

POS Integration with JDE

Performed all JDE program integrations and enhancements successfully.

This project involved performing multiple JDE program enhancements. This complicated but successful project saved the company substantial revenue and created numerous business functions for modularity and repetitive use.

9.1 to 9.2 JDE Upgrade at Ovintiv

Managed an offshore development team and provided technical requirements during the JDE upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 at Ovintiv.

I conducted triage meetings with business and developer groups. Additionally, I provided testing, peer review development, analysis, development onboarding, and assistance in all queries from the business team and the technical staff.

Orchestration for BOM Application

Created a recording of the bill of materials (BOM) application.

The orchestration brings back negative-quantity subproducts and returns the availability date when the quantity will be available based on an algorithm and workday calendar. This feature better controls inventory levels of BOM primary items for completion.
