Proces Manager IT BaNCS implementation

May 2010 - Mar 2015
Scope :Implementation of the TCS BaNCS system via the Tommy program.Description :Being the intermediary between the IT and Operations departments, I had to arrange that migration deadlines could be met by timely implementation of required change requests. That resulted in extensive stakeholder management and continous aligning of several Operations and Business departments and IT.Dealing with change requests resulted in test coordination responsibilities, providing the RAG reports, coordination of release planning of several suppliers and timely escalation to Program Management.People management skills were strongly required for chasing and aligning in order to make things happen. Being one of the few generalists within the Tommy program among the specialists resulted in being considered as the oil in the engine, or the bridge builder. Obviously a position that not many others wanted to have. The title Change Manager was often adjusted info Chase Manager and I was told to have a good feeling for process that were not running smoothly.
