Technical delivery was performed in collaboration with Oracle Consulting Services (OCS) per their recommendation that included installation, configuration and setup of InfoManager, InfoCenter, Search (Hadoop based), Search Runtimes, Search work clients, Answer Flow Editor, Answer Flow Runtime. Further setup needed to include custom authentication using Siteminder and load balance VMs using F5. End result was an enterprise knowledge management solution with search being the primary driver. This process was performed on three (3) environments (Development, Staging and Production).

Worked with various teams across WDW (Walt Disney World) to understand and realign existing application/systems into a managed services model. Applications/systems were growing at a rapid phase and the complexity was even growing faster that required realignment in order to create a manageable support structure with a clear RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) matrix. I was responsible to leading this initiative collaborating with EA (Enterprise Architecture) teams in creating and modeling the new support structure that l defined into a business capability model that would fit into Mega BPM (Business Process Management) tool. The extensive work l performed in realigning business services/processes were initially fed into a customized SQL server DB and upon refining, it the data was fed into Mega BPM (Business Process Management). In a nutshell, what was accomplished in this assignment was defining/creating the entire Walt Disney World IT portfolio and feeding that portfolio data into Mega BPM. This project helped me gain a deep understanding of the entire WDW IT architecture/structure from domain (top most level) down to configuration items(CI-VMs, hardware etc)/process flow diagrams (bottom most level). I also worked with a tool called SOA repository that maintains versioning of web services and stores all web services as a central repository with its owners and relevant information.
