Flagship Projects
Global - Omnichannel Commerce
Multi-Cloud implementation globally for B2C domain of a US based enterprise customer with multiple brands/subsidiaries. Project started as Commerce, Marketing and Customer Care focus then evolved to a Program including CRM system migration with the addition of Loyalty. I took the part as the multi-cloud architect to design the solution and worked with internal and external architects to scale the solution to be used globally in multiple regions and multi-million consumers. Project played an important part for my promotion to Technical Director with successful planning and in the end release with high CSAT. Project team included 10 people. Biggest challenge of the project was to scale the large traffic of the customers coming from eCommerce and Stores combined and ensuring the data quality for the customers coming from multiple sources with different level of information.
Global - CRM Platform Build
Multi-Cloud implementation globally for a France based enterprise customer. Customer had both B2C and B2B processes in scope. Project started as Customer Service focused then evolved to a full CRM system migration. Involved clouds in the project was Service Cloud, Commerce Cloud, Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud. Later, Data Cloud also added to support marketing process. External systems integrated to platform were SAP and PowerBI. OSF collaborated with the client IT teams for external systems development to fulfill business requirements in enterprise level. Project team included more than 15 people with considering client development team as well. One of the biggest challenges of the project were communicating with the external teams and align on the business requirements with protecting the high quality. Another one was to adapt outdated systems to work with Salesforce. This required to build sophisticated integration layers to translate and transform the data as well as utilizing ETL to compromise from high frequency integration due to platform limits.
