SBC Communications

January, 2000 - October, 2000            St. Louis, Missouri

I worked as a SYSTEMS ENGINEER and BUSINESS ANALYST on two different efforts: an evaluation of Web support and development tools for SBC’s effort to consolidate and revamp all enterprise Web sites, and an OSS reengineering project called the Enterprise Integration Architecture (EIA) project.

I was responsible for gathering requirements from user representatives and subject matter experts.  I created a detailed matrix of business and system requirements, and vetted the list with multiple stakeholder reviews.  I reviewed and evaluated commercial packages available to provide personalization, customization, customer profiling, product recommendations, and targeted marketing capabilities. I then scored each of the packages based on the requirements.  Based on the results of the vendor survey and detailed evaluation, I created detailed use case documents for the Customer and Service Management layers of the business.

The Enterprise Integration Application (EIA) project was a an overall redesign and integration of their OSS, integrating the legacy systems of SBC with those of two recent acquisitions: PacBell and Ameritech. Given a set of numerous redundant systems, SBC was looking to take the opportunity to completely re-engineer their systems and the integration between them.

I worked on the requirements and architecture documents for the customer management layer of the architecture.  I performed requirements elicitation with users and subject matter experts, and I was the primary author of the Business Requirements and Major Use Case document, based on the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Unified Modeling Language (UML).  I also edited the documents and contributions of the other engineers on the team.

I created a prototype design for the persistence layer of SBC’s customer, account, and subscription data, using LensKits products from Integrated Architectures.

As part of the rapid prototyping effort, I managed the project to create an offsite test lab for the reengineering effort, including the configuration of servers, provisioning of VPN communications, and the installation of integration software.
