It’s Official: I Have a New Job!

While it’s been in the works for the last few weeks, it was just made official yesterday morning when my current manager informed the rest of my team that I’ll be joining my current employer’s Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) implementation team as a Senior Systems Analyst.

What’s most exciting to me is the fact that I’ve really been wanting to break into the enterprise content management world, in a more permanent role, since 2005 when I was more or less forced to leave Delta Air Lines due to their impending bankruptcy filing. Since then, I’ve worked with a couple of companies on various web content management assignments and really enjoyed the work, so it’s incredibly exciting to be part of an implementation team responsible for every single aspect of the project from planning, to design, to development, to post-production support.

On top of that, I recently saw a brief demo of the EDMS system that we’ll be implementing and the technology behind it is incredibly cool; it’s going to make a tremendous positive impact on both our clinical and business users and I can’t wait to be an instrumental part in that enterprise-wide transformation.

My official start date is September 12th and needless to say, it can’t come soon enough.

I’ll be working on a team of three other Systems Analysts and the first order of business is to head out to Kansas City in the later part of September to attend system training provided by the vendor, Perceptive Software. Speaking of which, if anyone’s familiar with Kansas City and can recommend any must-visit restaurants and/or bars we need to check out while we’re out there, I’d be eternally grateful.

Anyhow, being that I’m in a transition period until my start date, I really don’t have much more information at this point, but rest assured that I’ll write more about it as the details surface.
