This new system requires that the daily input from all agencies, be sent in XML format. Previously, all input was sent from the mainfra mes in fixed-width text file format. My role as the onsite Technical Lead, is to spearhead this new, mission-critical initiative. From the ground up, I have designed and developed the core transfor mation engine, including an online interface, for each agency to easily configur e their file format. Through an EXE run at scheduled intervals, the mainframe te xt files are automatically converted to XML, governed by various and specific bu siness rules, and sent via secure FTP (SSL) to be processed by the new FMS versi on 3.0.

The main objective was to establish a central, enterp rise source of record (for all of Jarden's corporate properties, leased or owned , worldwide) and to replace the manual, paper based approach, in use for several years. The easy-to-use online interface featured: * an accurate, up-to-date inventory of all facilities, leases/sub-leases * key contacts responsible for facility operations * date-based milestones (i.e. lease expiration, renewal, etc.) * rent expense and revenue per facility, or by aggregate * operating expenses, insurance policies, and service providers * calculation of carbon footprint emissions (manufacturing locations) * original documentation in binary format (titles, deeds, signed agreements) Technologies used: .NET Framework 2.0., C#, ASP.NET (WebForms), ADO.NET, SQL Ser ver 2005 11/07 - 07/08 Consultant Developer Lehman Brothers - New York, NY Investment Management Division, IT Client Reporting Group Participating in the build of a new enterprise-level reporting system.

Ni ghtly data feeds populate the database from various sources (Bloomberg, StateStreet) with end of day funds pricing data. Previously, this data was manually entered i nto Excel reports, for both trend analysis and performance reporting, with each day's repo rt stored separately.

Previously, management had received manually generated Excel bid reports. These reports contain current information only and provide no historical or trend anal ysis.

All users will be provided with the analytical tools they need, to identify opportunities for impr ovement and areas of concern, both at the salesperson and pool characteristic level.
