PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

• CoAdvantage - Payroll/HRMS and Benefits Administration Solution
o Most recently, I served as the client facing Project Manager with regards to the transition from ADP to CoAdvantage’s UltiPro platform. Tasks included but were not limited to weekly project status calls, review of cost center structure, earnings and deduction codes. I provided employee data from the ADP system inclusive of demographic data, direct deposit, earning, and deduction setup. I served as the primary client liaison for mapping data from the CoAdvantage UltiPro platform back to WR Nash’s Timberline system for tracking project costs. Additional tasks included review and submission of all functional reports for CoAdvantage to reproduce, use of the ad-hoc report writer Cognos 8 to write reports on our own, preparation and remittance of payroll data using Excel spreadsheets, and utilization of the UltiPro Web Portal to maintain employee data and HR related transactions. Project rollout also included PlanSource Benefits Solution for benefits administration and online Employee access/enrollment/changes.


• Sage Timberline – Enterprise and Project Management Software for the Construction Industry
o I was assigned the Project Leader role to deploy Accounting, Job Management, and Project Management modules within the organization. I established the time line and led a team of Employees through the process. I also coordinated training using our live system for all staff according to module. Once CoAdvantage was deployed, I coordinated the weekly transfer of data between the CoAdvantage Payroll system and Timberline Job Management and Accounting modules.

• ADP Pay eXpert and HR eXpert - Payroll and HRMS solutions
o Once I assessed various options and identified the appropriate solution, I managed the implementation which included set-up and configuration, data migration, system testing, data validation, staff training, and “Go Live.”

• UltiPro – Payroll and HRMS solutions
o I implemented new technology, UltiPro, which included set-up and configuration, data migration, system testing, data validation, staff training, and “Go Live.” I also set up an enhanced “tickler” system in UltiPro HR to track all expiring licenses, certifications, and CEU’s required for employees in a healthcare organization.

• HireBridge – Resume Tracking System
o I set up and deployed an online applicant and job posting system.
