Gianfranco Cantatore’s Summary

Manager for Intranet Based development projects with the responsibility for an internal team as well as for the budget of external projects in this area.My Company is the publisher of the first business daily in Italy, but we also have a complex network of point of sales (libraries, dealers, ) and sales force professionals.

I'm going to focus my working experience in the sector of Business Community Management starting from my strong experience in web architectures and increasing my experience on business matters.

Recently I have been involved in a task force having the goal to form the SOA Center of Excellence in my company.

Last but not least, I'm member of the Enterprise 2.0 italian community: http://www.enterprise20.it.

Last Projects:

- Actually I'm working in a project with two main goals; the first is to define the new architecture, based on the microsoft platform, that will be the framework for the next era of our information system; for this task we're building a Service Oriented Architecture using Biztalk Server as tool for the integration/Service Bus and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS) 2007 as single point of access of all our information. The second goal is the deployment of a CRM system (Microsoft CRM) and the integration of all our business processes to give a single and centralized view of each single customer of ours to all the persons that have a role with the business that involves it.

- Creation of a business community portal for our sales force network that is focused on professional customers.
- Creation of a loyalty management system dedicated to the customers of our professional book shop network.

Technology scouting:
Although business rules, my work life still remains strongly tied to the evolution of technology.
In particular I spend part of my time (often free time ) trying to catch opportunities that IT offers to my business.
