The corporation Deutsche Telekom has decided that web applications must be maintained by T-Systems GmbH and not any more by T-Mobile, so I had to emigrate to T-Systems but my tasks and service is just as it was before at T-Mobile (both are companies within Deutsche Telekom).

I´ve been supporting this telecommunications corporation in module HR, especially regarding the topic performance management, with web and abap solutions. In a beginning I had to attend the web applications for DE, A, CZ, UK & NL. The corporation decided to separate DE due to a new project which is carried out by a different department.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT RAAB, GmbH (Germany)
ABAP/4, ABAP OO & BSP Developer
From July ’01 to Sept. ´06

July 2005 - Sept. 2006 Siemens A&D in Nürnberg
The company carried out an important project (PMD = Product Master Data), in order to create and maintain the data of material master, mainly, and sales information worldwide through the internet (in connection with SAP WAS and BSP pages -> Web Development). In some locations there’s no SAP system, so it all will be accessed, displayed and maintained through the internet. For supporting the company, I created the necessary BSP-pages, in a big team, with ABAP Objects, HTML, HTMLBusiness & JavaScript, all based in SAP WAS 6.20. Partial start of the project was due for the first week in October 2005; real start in productive system was 02.01.2006. Creation of programmes for downloading MM-data as XML files.

After the productive start of the web development, we were occupied with change requests and the broadening of the PMD-System as well as with a second (MMP = technical data) and third (FDB = Fabrikat Datenbank) web project. MMP is a complementary system to PMD that maintains the technical data of materials and FDB was the forerunner system for creation and maintenance of material data. The functionality of this old system had to be integrated to PMD. All this was ready by September/October 2006.

May 2005 - July 2005 T-Systems in Stuttgart
I worked a couple of months for supporting the staff of the company in module Project System (PS) with new programs, as well as adaptation of existing programs. We had to transmit the information from SAP R/3 to a data base in Oracle in a different system; this means data migration.

July 2004 – May 2005 Siemens Power Generation in Erlangen
The company carried out an important project (PLM = Product Lifecycle Management) in order to standardize processes and interchange information between existing and future systems (SAP R/3) through IDOCs & RFCs, as well as the implementation of the SAP R/3 system in some sections of the plant Mülheim and in plants New Delhi, Budapest & Newcastle. The main project involved different teams in the plants in Erlangen (main place), Erfurt & Mülheim in Germany, as well as partially (as secondary project) Orlando & Charlotte in USA. In this case my team had to do much with bills of materials, material master and the module MM in general, document management, classes and characteristics, Workflow, RFCs, SAPscript forms and SAP Business Workplace. Several programmes were created for migration of data.

Dec. 2002 – July 2004 Siemens L&A in Offenbach
In this case, there was no real project to carry out. My work was, among others, to develop new programs and to modify and adapt existing programs (inclusive some standard programs) for modules HR, MM, SD, QM and FI/CO, as needed. Additionally, I had to support the responsible of module MM in the daily work, either with developments or different tasks in customizing, material master, purchase orders, etc.

May 2002 - Oct. 2002 Siemens Dematic in Konstanz
The administration and maintenance of the R/3 system at the subsidiary in Arlington (USA) had to be moved to Konstanz (Germany). My tasks here were to translate the existing programs, forms, messages, etc. into english, as well as to generate new programs as needed. An important project was “Antrag auf Materialzulassung“, that is, creation of materials in SAP. In this case I automated the former process, in which 5 different departments participated, under SAP with a new development (instead of papers) for modules MM/SD. In this case I lead a team of 3 colleagues, supported by the staff of the participating departments.

March 2002 - April 2002 MEA Meisinger in Aichach
There was a data migration process from an old system into SAP R/3. I was responsible for writing a collection of programs, which must create or change data in the material master (per batch-input) in Module MM.

Jan. 2002 - Feb. 2002 Softwaresupport Raab in Erlangen
My task was to update the homepage of the company with HTML, Dynamic HTML and JavaScript.

Dec. 2001 Clariant in Frankfurt-Höchst
I created or adapted a couple of work tools (programs, RFC-capable functions, SAPscript forms) for the modules MM/SD and corrected some existing web pages (in connection with the SAP Internet Transaction Server). The main task was to collect data from 4 different servers (Latin America, NAFTA, Europe & Asia) and save it in a 5th server per RFC; this means it was partially data migration.

July 2001 – Nov. 2001 Siemens SBS in Erlangen
I had to adapt a big collection of ABAP programs for the accounting department, according to new guidelines established by the corporation in modules FI/CO.

SIEMENS A&D (México)
ABAP/4 Developer
April ‘98 until June ‘01
I worked for the informatic department in Mexico and my task was to create and adapt new programs and developments with ABAP and/or SAP Dialog Programming for the end users in all existing modules (MM, PP, FI/CO, SD, among others). The users were helped by me in order to use the SAP system and understand it. Additionally, I carried out different courses about SAP-topics (introduction to SAP, R/3 in general, execution of queries and programs, creation of queries, check and print spools, etc).

I also attended the labeling devices for the production department and created the necessary code for printing information from SAP. Labels were sticked to the semi-finished and finished products.

Additional tasks:
ISO 9001  I was at the same time responsible for the documents and forms according to ISO 9001 (quality of product), organization, implementation of guidelines for creation of documents (procedures, instructive), as well as the official documents and technical information. I also had to audit the participating departments to confirm that the guidelines were carried out.

ISO 14000  the goal of the plant was to get a certification ISO 14000 (ecology and work security) by the end of 2001. I took part in the process of preparation, together with a group of colleagues from different departments. I participated in an ISO 14000 training course and achieved a certificate.

List of SAP R/3 projects at Siemens A&D:
Mai – Juni 2001:
Implementation of the project “Office Online” for the production and engineering departments (they must have all necessary tools in just one screen). The concept spans over the use of HTML Code, Javascript, Images and Links under SAP in Module PP.

Feb. – Apr. 2001:
Implementation of a Data Warehouse System (not SAP´s module BW) for Siemens A&D related to the production and logistics areas in modules PP/MM.

Nov. 2000 – Jan 2001:
I developed a system under SAP Online Programming in order to be able to better control special orders coming from the USA and Canada. The system is able to produce graphics indicating the status of the orders and more.

The requirements regarding the development of this system was initiated by the production department. However, the functionality of the system was enlarged and improved over the time so that it could be also used by the logistics, engineering, auditing and production management.

Aug. – Oct 2000:
Active participation in the update process of the SAP system from version 3.0F to 4.7D, which included training of end users, program tests, documentation, etc.

BANCA SERFIN (México)
Bank activities
Jan. 1990 - March 1998
Great experience in bank activities, in which I carried out different work tasks, in administration as well as software development, bank-related positions and client service.
