understand the solution that is going to develop, this new step was highly appreciated by
client team as they have more visibility and clarity on the solution implemented.
Led a team of 35 people in developing “Atlas systems Integration” project for Mars. This

This tool helped Mars with huge amount saving in terms of other interface developments to

help huge time saving for functional team and BPO’s to enter the data manually in IDOC
segments.
Involved in concept proofing in SAP Fiori to create SO using web services.
