Recommended a full redesign of all Oracle interfaces to add error handlers and web-service compliant capabilities. Assisted Arrow with the transition from Oracle Fusion to Oracle Fusion/ WebLogic Server 11g and BPM 11g (beta release).

 

Tier1 Innovation12/05 – 3/08

Principal Architect / SOA Practice Director

 

Designed (SOA) Service Oriented Architectures for Fortune 500 clients. Disciplines include Messaging, Web Services, BPM, Security, Error/Event Handling, Testing, SDLC and SLA/Operations support.

·            Created a BPM framework and roadmap that was adopted by multiple clients on various vendor platforms. The framework was based on the BPEL 1.0 specification.

The choice of BPEL was made because of vendor support and because BPEL provides a language for the specification of executable and abstract business processes. BPEL extends the Web Services interaction model and enables business transaction support.

·            Member – BPM Standards Group

·            Development and delivery of a 5 day Business Process Management Essentials training course based on the BPEL standard and the Oracle BPEL Process Manager.
