Roger has been the lead for many analysis, design and architecture phases on a number of successful SOA projects, primarily in the telecommunication sector. His achievements are: SOA implementation from the ground up in a domain, conceptual and physical design of the SOA, as well as definition of the high-level (vendor-neutral) and technical (vendor-specific) reference architectures. These reference architectures are used by design and implementation teams to standardize delivery for a reliable work-product. His recent work with Hewlett Packard has been as an SOA Architect, re-architecting a customer's complete product implementation, sales and order fulfillment processes in a program intended to provide cross-channel, cross-organization sales, increasing end-to-end conversion of sales leads with projects that centralize business processes and business rules, governance and intelligence. This is a key program to the further development of the cross-channel market approach. Furthermore, the legacy credit check was given more agnostic functionality and business rules to effectively assess credit risk targeted to the actual sales, with an approach that allows new types of products and packages to be defined in the context of the credit check without build effort, resulting in a future-proof solution.
