Hired after six months of consulting with them, I have
worked primarily as a part of J.D. Edwards implementation
projects. Work has included analysis of client business
process before an implementation, formulating a plan to
integrate client requirements and wish-lists into the J.D.
Edwards implementation, documenting setup decisions, writing
end-user material, creating training materials, and
post-go-live support. The primary focus during J.D. Edwards
implementations has been on Distribution and Manufacturing
modules.
In addition to J.D. Edwards projects, performed business
analysis for a client who needed a business continuity plan
and worked to create a trouble shooting case base for
another client to implement over the web.
