Notes National Practice
September 1996 - July 2000
I joined IBM in the fall of 1996 as part of the Notes National Practice. While a part of this team I was on several projects. Some of the highlights are as follows.
Developed a travel planning and expense reporting system based on Lotus Notes and DB2 for one of the nations leading shipyards for the design, engineering, construction, life cycle fleet support, repair and modernization of advanced surface combatant ships for the U.S. Navy and for international navies, and for advanced commercial marine vessels. Interviewed the user groups, collected and defined the business requirements, designed the system framework, coordinated the development effort. Integrated the system into their existing mainframe application for processing the expense payments.

Participated in an internal IBM project to manage the migration of several thousand notes R3 applications from a variety of legacy Notes domains to notes R4 applications in a common domain. Developed a project tracking application to help manage the migration project. Developed procedures (ISO-9001 type) which would allow the actual migration project to be managed by a Non-Notes person.
