Founder experience with prior employers, before Saepius.
Situation
A large electric utility was replacing its decades-old, heavily customized mainframe customer system with SAP. The program served about 5 million customers. The new platform had to integrate with roughly 45 surrounding legacy and third-party applications, while other major projects competed for the same test environments.
Role
Project and Release Manager, SAP, engaged through a consulting firm. I owned the environment and integration-test timeline across four waves and five integration test cycles. I coordinated three systems integrators and several third-party vendors, and ran release and change control under a program-wide change freeze.
Outcome
Integration testing kept moving despite environment conflicts, through coexistence agreements negotiated with parallel projects. The program went on to a successful go-live.
