Southern California Edison
Sr. Project Manager, Sr. Systems Analyst:
Early in the 21st Century, Southern California Edison (SCE) made a substantial investment in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called SAP. Essentially the Utility was over 100 years old, and this investment was a quantum leap for an aging information technology system, into a new era.
A Corporate Information Factory was created, where the technical environment would provide information from a single source of truth. It touched most areas of the Business, and took hundreds of people to put into place.
My role filled a very thin layer of expertise monitoring all the change, and keeping track of all the work: scope and schedule for the "Enterprise Asset Management" module. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) Dashboard, which I managed, was one of many new components to become available to SCE after the launch of SAP and the Business Intelligence platform.
While there were many other experiences I had at SCE, this was a very exciting time in my career. Fantastic people, talent and accomplishments. Bravo!
Go-Live: Flipping the Switch
Wendy Jao and I flip the switch for R-3 EAM (Enterprise Asset Management). As you can see, SCE was in good hands!
CIO Dashboard
Directly after rolling off R-3, SCE retained me to launch the first automated CIO Dashboard within the SAP footprint. On-time and below budget, the custom KPI Kiosk and BI Build (Business Intelligence Technology) were in place within 6 months SDLC. The actual dashboard is confidential, and is not depicted here.
Innovation, Creativity, or Consensus?
Do your days ever look like this? This was from an early team discussion about the components of the CIO Dashboard. I was able to turn this into the following....

Team commitment, Executive presentation.
