Unilever Contract #4

ContractMCSE.com extends contract into Customer Engagement Manager role.

Due to an extended medical absence of a Key CEM who has ownership of several Web/Extranet and Integration Projects, ContractMCSE (Robert Watkins) has been engaged to temporarily take on these responsibilities. The Projects that are the scope of this contract are LiveLink (OpenText), PlumTree Portal and My Unilever installation and integration of the subsequent legacy applications that will progress as modules into this new Extranet environment. In addition to these projects, there is Project Phoenix with it’s objective to integrate the three Puerto Rico facilities into the standard “Shared Services” support model.

The PMO has also requested that Robert develop several “Methods” for the upcoming deployment and utilization of UPlan (Niku – project and resource management software). He originally had a hand in creating the standard MS Project template that has been in use by the PMO over that last three quarters. The first Method he creates will outline the Production Turnover Process as it relates to the standard Unilever processes.

Robert is still the Technical Project Manager over the Canadian script development effort. This will continue until this is completed.

This extension will be in force until the CEM returns to his position and is fully brought up to speed on the status and effort being managed relative to this project.

Unilever Contract #2

ContractMCSE inks new contract with Unilever for Project Management / Coordination

Unilever North America Global Infrastructure request ContractMCSE to assist with several ongoing projects. These projects include the Manufacturing for the Millennium SAP Project, Business Objects Upgrades, Gentran Migration from NT to Unix migration and Legacy Integration, Targeter for the Web enabled AMPs sales,  Video Conferencing Production Turnover, Manugistics Enterprise Forecasting as well as  the preparation for various Sales Office infrastructure build-out projects. These Projects will be managed for the Home an Personal Care Business Unit.

ContractMCSE has been employed prior to this contract with Unilever in a Technical Project Manager role assisting in development of Wise Scripts for delivery of business applications via Microsoft SMS and for 8 locations / business unit deployments in 2001.

This opportunity consists of quickly coming up to speed with each of the Project teams (7 projects in all) and coordinating resource activities via a fully matrixed organizational structure. During the first quarter Unilever went through a complete transition to this matrix and significant downsizing thus making ensuring fully resourced project effort.

Once again, Group Technology of Trumbull CT, Art Lebreck, owner of this staffing firm, facilitated the negotiations and securing of the contract. Art and Jim Davidson all are wonderful to  work with and truly have the consultant’s value in mind as they approach clients. This will be the second contract ContractMCSE will have secure via Group Technology efforts.

Refreshed Internet site

Contract MCSE.com has re-assessed this site and made the following changes.

Upon completing my Project Scripting Lab Manager contract with Unilever, I have begun updating this site and will have it completed soon. I am very open to any suggestions as to information or resources you would like to see on this site to support contractors in the field.

I have added a listing of the contractors I have worked with on a few of my past projects. I feel this site will be a good forum to expose this community of contractors to corporate clients who need and are seeking the skill sets they represent.
