Brian Williams: OAC Project Manager

Brian Williams

As the Systems Analyst and Project Manager for Own A Coder, my role is to investigate, analyze, design, evaluate, and maintain a customers’ information system. I am available to be in constant interaction with users and managers within an outside the organization. On large projects, I am able to work with a member of your IT department, on smaller assignments I am able to work alone.

 

As a member of a functional team, I am able to understand the needs of a specific area such as a marketing, sales, or accounting department and how IS supports the department’s mission. Smaller companies often use consultants to perform systems analysis work on an as-needed basis. With OAC, you are able to obtain the services of myself as well as multiple developers across the globe working on your project around the clock.

 

Responsibilities

My job as a systems analyst overlaps business and technical issues. Analysts translate business requirements into IT projects. As a system developer, I perform a wide array of tasks, such as building business profiles, reviewing business processes, selecting hardware and software packages, designing information systems, training users, and planning e-commerce Web sites.

 

A systems analyst, plans projects, develops schedules, and estimates costs. To keep managers and users informed, I am able to conduct meetings, deliver presentations, and write memos, reports, and documentation.

 

I have over 14 years in operations management, accounting & IT systems in the service industry. My last five years with the company has been primarily devoted to my passion towards IT, process management, training, and QA testing with OAC. I also have over five years of experience as an IT instructor at a local community college. I have acquired a thorough understanding of business processes in a complex retail environment.  My dual role profile of a systems analyst and a 14 year front line manager has cultivated a firm understanding of multi-level needs. I have managed up to 25 direct reports in my career and recognize the importance building a unified and diverse team. I have a strong background in process management, accounting, and IT project management.
