MAJOR PROJECTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

 

2008 – TMT System Implementation 

 

The scope of this Asset Management project involved a full migration from a legacy Fleet Maintenance system to the TMT application.  Data conversion of all master files (equipment, vendors, etc), set-up of integration with corporate transportation (TMW) and financial (GP) systems and as well as base functionally customization was required.   Various Business Objects reports were developed to support the business requirements.

 

2006/7 – Business Objects (Crystal Reports Server) Implementation 

 

This project consisted of all installation and configuration activities to implement Crystal Reports Server XI in a MS-SQL Server environment.  As well, several reports were developed using the Crystal Reports Developer tool.

 

2005 – TMW Suite System Implementation 

 

The scope of this Transportation Industry project involved a full migration from a legacy ERP system to the TMW Suite of applications.  Data conversion of all master files (equipment, drivers, carriers, etc) as well as extensive functionally customization was required.

 

2005 - MS-Business Solutions (Great Plains) Implementation 

 

The objective of this project was to develop one time conversion and ongoing integration modules for both a legacy ERP system and Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS).   Conversion modules were built to transfer customers and open AR transactions, suppliers and open AP transactions including un-reconciled cheques, GL chart of accounts and budgets from the legacy system and the MBS. Modules were developed to integrate Account Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger daily transactions between the legacy system and the MBS system.    Data integrity controls were developed to ensure data accuracy.

 

2004 – Prodigy Cross Dock Freight Verification System 

 

As an extension to an existing database application, the system enabled cross dock verifiers to electronically verify scheduled inbound and outbound freight through multiple cross docks.   This solution used radio frequency and 2D bar code technology.  This application reduced operational headcount by 25% and increased productivity and accuracy dramatically.

 

2003 – Prodigy Electronic Driver Logs System 

 

This was a major enhancement to the Mobile Satellite System that integrates vehicle/driver activity with the host database application for DOT/MTO verification and Fuel Tax reporting.    Driver log accuracy increased significantly as well as the elimination for manual driver logs.

 

2002 – Prodigy Mobile Satellite Integration

 

Participated on a team to implement satellite   enabled applications and equipment in a truck fleet (250 units).  The application in the trucks was developed to integrate with a host based database server application.   I was responsible for the front-end integration components that interfaced between the host server application and a third party satellite communications system.

 

2001 – Clarify ERP Implementation

 

This IT Service Industry project involved converting from an existing legacy ERP System to an updated ERP system.     Involved functionally customization and data conversion activity.
