Francois Auerbach (francois@tazoa.ie)’s Summary

My client is the largest national power supply company in Ireland. I am involved in their SAP R/3 HR release. I designed a data collection methodology, created a neat big database which tracks user info and changes, analyses training requirements and captures course reservations. The fun part was automating all that with VB programming. Pheeww... I did all that and so beautifully too. That's. a massive project too with 8000 users (I was going to say 'lives at stake')

Main competencies used for this project:
- Access database development
- Excel Visual Basic development
- Word mail merge to e-mail (e-mails were programmed to go out at different dates depending on target audience, working around Exchange server limitations which prevent that!)
- Windows programming
- Project management
- Communications with main stakeholders across ten different business units / thirty locations.

My company is called Tazoa (why pick a regular name, eh?) - that's Greek, just showing off... I did Greek and Latin in school, I knew it had to be of use at some point, even though they are about the only two words I remember (i.e. Ta Zoa)

Tazoa does all of the above stuff (data gathering, manipulation and sorting into neat little tables and reports) as well as offer IT training in a variety of subjects. No, seriously!

Francois Auerbach (francois@tazoa.ie)’s Specialties:

Data collection, databases, productivity software, Microsoft Office MASTER, Excel guru!
