The Last 5 Years

In September 2000 I was invited by SAP Global Marketing to re-join their SAP.com Global Web Team. The Global Web Team is responsible for developing and maintaining SAP.com; a global site serving about 70 subsidiaries around the world.  My primary role was the sole responsibility for development and maintenance of the US Education site at http://www.sap.com/useducation.  This contract position ended at the beginning of April, 2005 after almost 5 years.

During this time SAP.com was redesigned and migrated from the ASP 3.0 platform to VB/ASP.net: a project I participated in. Here are some highlights of my 5 years on the Global Web Team.

Sap.com .NET

I wrote and published the following documents and white papers: The Master Test Plan, the Unit and Integration Test Plan, the Application Architecture Manual for SAP.com .NET, Creating Solutions in VS .NET, SAP.com Site Engine - Part I Reference, SAP.com Site Engine - Part II Step By Step, SAP.com Webmaster Guide, MD5 and Encrypted Passwords - a White Paper,

I converted ASP to ASP.net, extended and enhanced existing .NET applications.  I also re-factored existing SAP.com .Net code into a new Sap.com .Net Architecture.

I developed and implemented Best Practices techniques including structured coding techniques and code reuse for ASP 3.0 applications.  These Best Practices reduced new development and maintenance time significantly.

Internet Surveys and the Survey Engine

I designed and developed this database driven Internet Survey Engine. The Survey Engine integrates with SAP e-Mail Marketing and the SAP.com architecture to dynamically update the Survey database and return current results to public voters.  Surveys are created and maintained by the Survey Engine Administration site.

Conference Websites and Content Management Systems

I designed and developed a web-enabled database driven Conference Website Model. This model was created for and introduced at the SAPPHIRE 2001 conference in Orlando, Florida and has since contributed significantly to reducing the effort and costs associated in creating new conference sites.  For example: the SAPPHIRE 2001 conference in Orlando took about 960 hours to develop over 16 weeks versus the TECHED 2002 Bremen conference which took (sans custom modifications) about 8 hours to deliver.

I built the back-end CMS application to support multiple concurrent conferences using a single application and database. Conference content editors could login and manage content.  I included a work-flow process to enable content reviewers to approve content or not.

Some of the sites that used this model: SAP TECHED 2002 Bremen, SAPPHIRE 2002 Lisbon, SAPPHIRE 2002 Orlando, SAPPHIRE 2001 Orlando and at least 10 international SAP Business Forums

SAP.com/US Education

I was the sole developer responsible for new development, maintenance and enhancement of the publicweb site for SAP Educational Services:  http://www.sap.com/useducation.  Clients, prospects, partners, consultants and other interested parties use this site to review information about SAP curriculums and courses.  This site is dynamically driven by content obtained from SAP R/3 and housed in SQL Server 2000.

I built the back-end CMS application to allow content editors and site administrators create and maintain database content including curriculums, courses, training portals and locations, schedules and much more.
