Awoma facilities are found in the United States (Sales, Marketing) and in France (R&D, Production, Quality Assurance, and Technical Support).
Research & Development Manager. The development of the core technology was initiated by the end of 2002. It implied many web, Java, XML and parsing technologies (covering Java, Servlets, Java EE, HTML, JavaMail, JDBC, XML, Eclipse...). Other technologies were studied like EJB, JSP, JSF... |
| | The first phase of the technological project was to master all the Java EE technologies, in order to find a corresponding development paradigm with procedural development. This step required in-depth technology acquisition (conference in the United States, attending numerous user groups, training of co-workers).
The second phase was to realize our proof of concept and transform it in a product, following classic – but dynamic – project and team management, while keeping our specifications.
The third and last phase was to deliver, verify the suitability with customers and users, insure technical support and offer maintenance.
During these steps, recurring tasks were needed: technology intelligence (study of potential competitors products, Java EE market trends), management of the technical team, follow-up of customers. My responsibilities included IT strategy choices (web site, e-commerce, security…) These tasks were realized in a highly international environment with customers in the United States and partners in Great Britain and Germany. On this technical site, my main responsibilities were: - Company’s IT strategy.
- Management of resources.
- Study and validation of needs.
