I specialize in Computer Resource Management (CRMR), Business Analysis Management (BAMR), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Electronic Business Flow Management (EBFM) systems that involve many different aspects of computer technology, including Project Management, Change Management, Conversion/Migration, ERP implementation and Strategic Planning. My specialization over the past several years has been as an information and data architect, working with EBFM - Electronic Business Flow Management, EDI and other forms of electronic business-to-business communication, especially in the, manufacturing, distribution, retail, financial industries and health care (HIPAA).
I work on ERP/CRM systems with an emphasis on Order to Cash, Order to Pay and the deployment of the EDI interface transactions and third party systems interfaces. Conversion, migration and integration to third party systems (shipping, transportation, etc.) are functional areas where I excel. As an experienced Data Architect, I have designed interfaces and conversion requirements for several company implementations. As a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) I have implemented the Oracle Enterprise One financial systems and automated payments and receipts processing modules saving significant labor and cash flow expenses.
Functioning as as a systems control consultant, I work with Internal audit and control systems as they relate to Sarbanes-Oxley (Section 302 & 404) & COBiT. As with any internal controls, audit or documentation project, a background in accounting, systems and technology is a requirement. My unique experience provides that across a multitude of technology platforms and industries. As a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) I have worked in Public Accounting and as an Internal Audit Director. I have implemented financial control systems that generated automated payments and receipts processing. I have developed and deployed documentation and control systems for major enterprises involved in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas and healthcare.
As a professional consultant I specialize in business systems flow management. My goal is to promote profitability through efficient and creative use of Information Technology systems and processes. I support a wide variety of business systems services but am very focused on electronic business to business transactions, EDI & e-Business activities. The future of Global Business will be concentrated on how well and how fast information flows between business enterprises. Electronic Business Flow Management (EBFM) is the new model for the Global Economy fully utilizing the power of electronic communications, traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and the Internet. Electronic Transaction Flow Management (ETFM) is the process that enables a cost effective and profitable implementation of the EBFM model. I enable companies to focus on what is important and cost effective. Properly implemented, the Electronic Business Flow Management model will generate profit and propel our Global economy through this Millennium.
