In my last position with Longs Drug Stores, I was responsible for the successful implementation of store operations business needs with the Oracle Retail merchandising system. This included a wide array of custom designed inventory management systems (including store receiving systems, store cycle count systems, store-to-store transfer systems), management reporting (business intelligence reports design) and the supporting documentation. My responsibilities included the traditional elements of the software Development Life Cycle; participation in JAD sessions, requirements analysis, UI design, development, testing, implementation, definitions of support practices, and disposition of legacy systems no longer needed.
