Key Responsibilities
o9 Functional Leadership
Serve as the engagement's o9 functional subject matter expert, advising the Senior Manager and client stakeholders on how planning processes are, and could be, supported in o9.
Document how in-scope data elements are ingested into o9, how they are represented in planning hierarchies and measures, how they are transformed by planning logic, and how outputs are published to downstream systems and users.
Assess the feasibility of redesigned processes against the client's current o9 configuration and identify where changes to configuration, workflows, or data feeds would be required.
Prepare clear, specific questions for the client and vendor o9 platform teams, facilitate the resulting working sessions, and translate their answers into process and specification decisions.

About Company
WE THE TEKWISSEN PEOPLE
TekWissen offers you a broader portfolio of services, industry-leading solutions, and the meaningful innovations that give you greater flexibility and speed to respond to market dynamics, reduced costs and risk to improve enterprise performance, and increased productivity to enable growth.
To keep pace with global market demands, TekWissen keeps its finger on the pulse of change. Our organized approach to guiding a project from its inception to closure. Managing projects is becoming more and more important as we enter the digital era. To cope with the pace that this transition demands, a method is required to manage projects so they can yield quality work, while incorporating efficient use of time and resources.
Project involves identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them.
It is important to perform quality planning during the Planning Process and should be done alongside the other project planning processes because changes in the quality will likely require changes in the other planning processes, or the desired product quality may require a detailed risk analysis of an identified problem. It is important to remember that quality should be planned, designed, then built in, not added on after the fact.
Capabilities and accomplishments in one TekWissen business enhance the opportunity for success in the others. Put simply, TekWissen's unique combination of attributes promotes success.
