About Allen Harris

I am an experienced IT professional with a diverse skill set and a strong background in technical project management, systems integration, and data migration. My journey in the technology industry has spanned multiple roles, enabling me to build deep expertise in software deployment, customization, and enterprise systems architecture. As a Principal Solutions Consultant, I have led technical project teams in the development and deployment of mission-critical systems, ensuring on-time delivery and adherence to scope and budget. My integration experience spans web services, JSON, XML/XSD/XST, and platforms such as Magic XPI, SAP BAPI and Siemens Teamcenter. I have integrated major ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle EBS, and CostPoint, using robust database technologies such as MS SQL, Oracle, and MySQL. I bring hands-on experience with Siemens Teamcenter, including installation and configuration, along with SOA Java custom utilities. In the realm of data migration, I excel at developing, testing, and deploying ETL tools using Java, T-SQL, SSIS, Python, and C#. I also develop custom scripts, APIs, and web apps to enhance system interaction and business process automation. I have a proven track record of managing customer relationships at all levels—from end users to executives—driving satisfaction, repeat business, and solution growth. My work often includes defining and implementing security models, role-based access, and system permissions to support data governance and compliance requirements. Previously, as a Senior Consultant, I delivered successful PLM service engagements, combining technical execution with client engagement. As a Configuration Management Team Lead and System Administrator, I directed team operations and led the division-wide transition from eMatrix PLM to Oracle Agile PLM, showcasing my capability to manage enterprise-level change. My educational foundation includes a Bachelor of Science in Economics from James Madison University, complementing my technical skills with strong analytical and business insight. In addition to my extensive experience, my technical toolbox includes Siemens Teamcenter, Oracle Agile, Oracle Database, SAP, Excel Macros, Java, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, SQL/T-SQL, SSIS, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, networking, and Linux systems.
