1. Additional Information About Previous Job (Impreglon):
I revised and created new documents using Crystal Reports, querying JobBOSS (an ERP system
for manufacturers) for information. The project involved:
1. Creating reports with income statements from current locations, mergers and acquisitions,
and overall. Income statements for five locations total were constructed.
2. Developing two other reports displaying (a) the well organized list of customer details,
allowing for prompts to meet needs of particular users and (b) shipped revenue by
customer and state.
3. Designing and implementing best practices and standards for Crystal Reports
development and putting together inline and offline documentation.
The work involved also creation of tables, views, stored procedures, and functions within SQL
Server referenced by both Data Services and webMethods. SAP development included ABAP
dataflows; hierarchy flattening; and reading from open hubs, extractors, and ECC tables.
Spotlighted Achievements:
- Situation: Reports existing at start of project were disorganized and inconsistent. Many
columns produced different results in separate reports for the same information. No formulae
contained inline documentation.
Action: Created new, well organized, reports using consistent formula using a single template,
with only minor variations on an as needed basis. Added inline documentation to formulae to
explain logic.
Results: Successful in creating streamlined and consistent reports producing identical results
across reports. Resolved all errors in reports.
- Situation: No data model, ERD (entity relationship diagram), or dictionary existed to explain
relationships between tables and expected cardinalities.
Action: Met with business analysts and JobBoss expert to gather details related to data model.
Reviewed existing reports and confirmed relationships. Created logical data model and entity
relationship diagram.
Results: Successfully documented logically and physically database used in reports.
- Situation: Lots of data quality issues existed.
Action: Developed comparison reports providing lowest level of detail and exported to Excel.
Compared results with reports and Excel documents provided by business. Met with business
to resolve differences, as some were due to incorrect quantities and dollars in the source. In
other cases, made adjustments to formulae to resolve issues. Created and followed test scripts
to ensure 100% accuracy across all reports.
Results: Successful resolving all data quality issues.
