A short engagement at the Defra offices in York.
I was brought in to work with Defra to assist them with improving the efficient of their procurement workflow by delivering automation of purchase order generation, approval routing and e-delivery (fax or emailed PDF). The technical foundation for this was standard Oracle workflow templates. I worked with the client to determine the appropriate configuration and also designed and delivered a number of customisations to meet the client’s specific requirements. This resulted in manual Buyer intervention being reduced by ~ 75%.
In conjunction with the above I refactored the Oracle Reports based Purchase Order to reduce technical debt and bugs. This enabled additional functionality to be added to the Purchase Order form in the confidence that there would not be unintended consequences.
