Background
Ian has worked in the Finance/IT arena for 20+ years; the last 18 years dedicated to projects
designed to gain competitive advantage and improved financial performance through the
implementation of the Oracle E-Business Suite.
Ian is a Functional Lead and Solution Architect with a proven track record having contributed
to a large number of Oracle E-Business Suite projects within blue-chip organisations world-
wide, including implementations, upgrades and rollouts.
His current engagement is with DHL/NHS Supply Chain initially as Functional Lead for an
R12.1.3 implementation of GL, AP, AR, PO, INV, OAC, ebTAX and CE, where he was
instrumental in ensuring the successful go-live. This encompassed all features of the R12
architecture and RICE components (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions and Extensions). Ian was
additionally responsible for the implementation of EiS eXpress Reporting, a reporting tool that
is fully integrated with the Oracle E-Business Suite. Following the implementation Ian has
remained with DHL/NHS Supply Chain as Head of Applications, responsible for leading and
driving continuous improvement through the use of Oracle E-Business Suite. This has
encompassed a large number of enhancements and further integrations including a successful
upgrade and migration of the underlying hardware, OS and DB.
His previous engagement was with GE Capital as Conversion Lead where he was responsible
for the conversion of their Spanish Leasing portfolio into Oracle Lease and Finance
Management (OLFM) R11.5.10. Ian was also responsible for designing the conversion processes
utilizing his knowledge of OLFM and its supporting modules across all KBF’s.
During his time with De Lage Landen, a global leasing company and subsidiary of Rabobank,
Ian was responsible for the configuration validation (BR100s) of a large number of modules,
defect analysis, resolution and subsequent re-design. Furthermore, Ian was a key member of
the European design team, providing business process analysis and re-engineering across their
14 European country leasing operations. Utilising his Six Sigma experience and industry
knowledge he advised on the transformation of the existing As-Is processes into industry
leading standardized and optimized To-Be processes. This provided the definition for the
Global OLFM based solution and the first European deployment.
Prior to this Ian was with GE European Equipment Finance where he was the Functional Team
Lead for the Application to Booking (ATB) Key Business Flow. This included responsibility for
the integration between the Contract Originations System and Oracle Lease Management. He
gained extensive knowledge across the whole product, ranging from configurations required to
support Accounting Template processes to interaction with the Legacy Extranet Systems. In
addition to this, Ian designed and tested numerous extensions to the OLFM product to ensure
that the Client requirements were met. This involved close management of offshore resources
and Oracle to ensure that all design concepts were clearly understood.
Other projects include Ford Motor Company (including Jaguar and Volvo) where he worked
on Accounts Payables 11i, integrated with Purchasing 11i and SSP5. Ian has worked on
implementing Oracle Financials (GL, AP, AR, CA, FA) 11.03 on a pan-European basis for GE
Capital and Avis Fleet Services, involved with Euro Compliance and the development of
standard financial processes across Europe.
Prior to project implementation roles, Ian has worked in Financial Accountant, Group
Accountant and Finance Manager Roles.
Commercially aware and supported by well developed inter-personal skills, Ian is an effective
communicator, able to work at all levels, both as a team player and when working on his own
initiative. He is fully conversant with all elements of a project life-cycle, from RFP,
Requirements analysis etc through to subsequent test and stabilization.
