I've worked in two separate disciplines. As a Data Exchange and Integration Specialist, I dealt with the creation and testing of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) documents and with B2B (Business-To-Business) data exchanges over a wide variety of networks and communication protocols.

As an Automation Specialist, I worked in the ESM (Enterprise Systems Management) group. This involves writing automation, testing, and monitoring routines for all of the servers and devices across the entire enterprise. All of this information is fed into the BSM (Business Service Management) system to allow the business process owners to see how their systems are functioning at any moment in time.
