Nordstrom
My first Project in Infosys.I was working under Bala(the dangerous projet leader of Chennai).I was the only person survived working for him for almost 1.5 years.I was really patient enough to take all the frustrations as I was from a Govt Job and not sure how to react in Private Organizations.I worked for two projects here.Both for Merchandizing system only.I had learnt lot of stuff here under tremendous pressure.Though, I really dont want to recall my days during that time, memories are always sweet(whether good or bad).

Wachovia
As soon as I relocated to India after 7 plus years at USA, I was posted to Hyderabad .I was handling projects related to Wachovia Retirement Services. I was given most of the freshers but we were able to manage the expectations and delivery. We had one excellent Onsite co-ordinator 'Sourav Mukherjee' and he used to manage the technical stuff efficiently.He was the Pillar of that Project.We had very many best practices during this time , SoftSkills, Domain Trainings, KT sessions, Brainstorm sessions for Defects,Monthly feedback sessions ,ToastMaster sessions and Parties for all personal reasons.I really enjoyed workin with this team where I was personally responsible for most of the things.

AdMinServer/Oracle
I moved out of Infosys to join small companies as I was working with Big companies for almost 15 years, I joined this company as Delivery head. We had very good technical people but process was terrible. People were statying till midnights, lot of customer complaints,no definied hierarchy. Fortunately we were able to train our employees and making them stand on their own .This took many communication sessions, trainings and attitude change among all my employees. in 2008, Oracle had purchased the AdminServer Insurance product.I was certified here for LOMA Level 1 and SEI CMM Appraisal Team Member(ATM).
