“ I was introduce to Ray though a contracting house for an immediate need we had for
Launching New Business of our product line and services at Caterpillar and TRW and
with our existing long term customer Ford Motor Company. Ray role and responsibility
varied from gathering the information on our new customer SAP 6.0 ECC Solution and
the functionality of its MM, PP, WM Modules, writing the work instruction that where
needed by our team to perform the transactions in the SAP applications to manage the
business. Ray’s role grew in that not all EWIE customer plants where working on SAP
but on other ERP systems such as a legacy Mainframe ERP Epicor WX Solution and
QAD Mfg Pro 10.0 solutions. Additionally Ray was responsible for the launch and
enhancement of various web based .Net and Client Server MS SQL server projects for
in house developed applications we use to manage the unique elements our business.
In addition Ray was tasked with performing an Assessment of Organization Security
practices and generating the needed organizational policies, procedures and artifacts
needed for the Enterprise to ensure our company was in compliance with these
standards. The approval allowed our company to be able get our customer approval to
directly access their applications and database and to serve as a hosting site of a
critical applications needed to help manage their Non Production materials. I have found
Ray to be very reliable, to have a broad depth of knowledge across EDI practices,
Networks, Databases, Applications and Application Coding and has innovative ideas to
improve Business Processes to help manage our business. Unfortunately our business
with our new customers did not grow at the rate of speed we had thought was going to
occur and being a smaller privately held business we had let Ray go as we were not
obtaining the needed revenues to sustain his employment with the type of skill sets he
provides.

"Ray and I first met through the University of Phoenix MBA program as one of Ray’s
University Professors. I found through this experience that Ray retains a very unique
skill set and through understanding of business enterprises and operational
improvement from both a transactional and physical change perspective. Jointly we
started a small consulting firm with the main emphasis on helping minority organizations
to improve the operational effectiveness. We developed an enterprise hybrid
improvement business model that uses Lean Six Sigma practices and tools for
improving not only the physical operational environment of our clients, but also the
combining the use of these LSS tools and practices by applying them to the
organizations IT Business Enterprise Solutions and Product development and
engineering organizations. Our model helped clients establish a three pronged Change
Management approach that included optimization of the Product Change Management,
(An area of a organization that typically governs the rate of change), the Physical
Operational Effectiveness Change Management (the area of the company where people
touch the product) and the Transactional Operational Effectiveness Change
Management (the area of the company where peoples communicate and share
information throughout the enterprise that relate to the product or service they are
managing). Although Ray and I chose different career paths after having success with
the company, I would highly recommend him for any level of an organization in nearly
any role due to his diverse product, process and industry exposure” January, 2010

Ray Poirier joined Delphi about four months ago to help us with developing a "Future
State Vision" for transitioning our legacy SAP 3.1 and 4.6 as well as QAD 9.0 and all
there sub modules into a single SAP ECC 6.0 solution. There are over 160
manufacturing locations and 250 locations worldwide. Our ERP environments included
added complexity of numerous customizations and bolt-on applications that interface
with the ERP environments for managing different parts of our business. Ray's role was
to collect the current state of information for these systems and to work with our
consultants Deloitte and Cap-Gemmi to assist them in developing a future state
environment. Ray also successfully assisted with defining and coordinating the ERP
Transition Planning of a recently purchased MVL business unit with over 20 locations
including manufacturing, engineering, and office buildings across the globe. Ray
provided his vast PM expertise to follow-on with an enterprise infrastructure project to
properly align appropriate resources necessary to complete the transition of Delphi's email messaging systems to Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) and the
integration with Delphi's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) environment. This highly technical
environment utilized Ray's technical skills as well as his program management
techniques to pull together the correct resources to push to conclusion. Ray also helped
in identifying and providing solutions to overcome some key improvements needed in
our existing PMO process/procedures to assist us in complying with ITIL standards.
This helped our projects run more smoothly and improved the level of technical data
needed to transition our ERP environment to newer technology. Ray has shown that he
has both high level competency and very detailed knowledge of both the QAD and SAP
ERP systems as well as EDI interfaces. Ray worked well with our program management
team members, business interface partners and Delphi service support suppliers. His
ability to work from a big picture enterprise view was much needed as we collected
information to develop our future state plans. August , 2013

Management, Billing, Rate and FICA work streams. Ray team also supported various
other applications including our Genesys IVR call management systems and a wide

team and an inability of HCL to performed and delivery work to our applications in an
organized or effective manner. Ray’s organization and stream lining of the processes,
identification and plugging of resources gaps based on the technology and in educating
our organization into the ticket management and prioritization process was instrumental
in making the CRB Portfolio from a underperforming Portfolio to the most effective
portfolio with the largest work load within Consumers Power. October 2012
