About me / What distinguishes me

Since I would like to invite you to cooperate with me, I present a list of features which distinguish me from my competitors.

It would be impossible to enumerate all of them, therefore I will only focus on the most distinctive ones:

 

  • over 18-year-long experience in implementing IT Systems

Throughout my professional career, I have been actively participating in a variety of complex IT projects, each of which was rather unique. I have gained a lot of absolutely priceless experience and I can say that it has been the time of hard work and intensive learning.

 

  • over 15-year-long experience in managing complex and challenging IT projects

Ever since I embarked on my professional career, my supervisors have trusted me enough to assign me with a demanding task of managing others at work, which I have perceived as the most challenging test. Over the years of my career, I have mastered those skills while working as a Project Manager of numerous complex and difficult projects.

 

  • certified knowledge of SAP, Microsoft Dynamics AX, BaaN, QlikView systems

The ability to learn fast has always been one of my strongest assets. I mastered the functionalities of the systems I had worked with very quickly and the knowledge I gained has been officially duly certified.

I have first-hand experience in implementing IT Systems, especially in the field of their "logistics" i.e. in the areas of sales, purchases, warehouse management, production as well as integration of the said solutions with financial and control modules. I am also well versed in the issues of controlling and broadly defined business analyses.

 

  • knowledge of details of corporate business processes in a variety of industries

Many years of experience in designing business projects which utilize IT systems have provided me with insight into corporate business processes peculiar to a given industry. Many a time my projects aimed at standardizing the company’s business processes so that the implementation of an ERP system would ultimately unify them in the entire company.

 

  • ability to see the overall functional system architecture and to coordinate solutions from different areas in order to integrate them

One of the recurring problems with the implementation of ERP systems is the absence of the system architect i.e. the person who controls the functionality of the entire system's. It often happens that particular project teams work on "their own" processes, but there is no one to coordinate and verify whether a given team’s solutions are in accordance with another team’s suggestions, or whether the proposed solutions are the most effective ones from the holistic point of view. In addition, project managers often lack the experience and knowledge of the processes and functionalities of the system in order to make astute judgments in that respect.

Throughout my professional career I have almost always combined the function of the Project Manager with that of the System Architect, thus making sure that the most effective system solutions from the company’s viewpoint have been worked out.

 

  • knowledge of the methods of managing project, especially Prince2, PMBOK, ASAP

Good knowledge of the methodology of project management is indispensable to successful administration of such an undertaking as an IT project. Apart from knowing the methodology of project management itself, it is also vital to know the so-called product methodology defining the scope and chronology of products and tasks which constitute the implementation process for a given system. Such experience can only be gained through long years of work with IT systems. The ability to put the experience to practical use allows for effective and efficient deployment of the company’s resources, in particular the most valuable ones
i.e. human resources.

 

  • experience in and knowledge of designing customer-oriented dedicated system solutions

My extensive knowledge of business processes in combination with an in-depth understanding of IT systems allows me to offer my customers a number of improvements in the functioning of systems in the areas where typical application features do not allow for obtaining maximum business benefits from the implemented IT tools. Although I am not especially enthusiastic about upgrading standard ERP system functions, each of them has some weak points which can be improved by designing and implementing
tailor-made solutions. These solutions allow the customer to make use of their potential to the full.

 

  • high quality of services and products provided

I always pay a great deal of attention to the quality of my own work as well as to the work of my cooperators. It often happens that companies which have been providing IT services for many years admit that they would benefit from our mutual cooperation in his particular respect.

 

  • experience in organizing IT departments

I have often prepared and participated in the creation of procedures concerning system maintenance. I have also advised on how to organize the company’s IT department in order to maintain and develop the implemented IT system in an effective and efficient way.

 

  • teamwork skills

This ability has always allowed me to build good relationship with my co-workers.

 

  • sense of responsibility for the tasks set

I have always tried to be fully professional about each of the projects I have participated in. I have been personally involved in and enthusiastic about my work. My sense of responsibility for work has always been held in high esteem by my clients and supervisors.
