Mark Walker, Senior Portals and BI Consultant, joined G3 from the BBC outsourcing partner Medas where his primary focus was the support and development of the SAP BW applications. Mark's 12 years’ SAP experience covers multiple projects across Media, Pharmaceuticals and the Motor industry, as ABAP developer, Solution Designer and Data Migration specialist. Mark’s keen interest in database design and data management coupled with his data warehousing and ABAP capability has been instrumental in his role in our Artist Statement Portal design, enabling him to provide a bridge between the front-end web developers (who inhabit a parallel universe) and the ABAP backend development team. His time spent at the BBC has highlighted that the Media industry as a whole share common pains as many of the same issues are exposed as weakness in their systems or processes. Mark is a great advocate of reviewing and revising internal development processes. Working on the premise that there is always scope for improvement, has led to him to develop tools to better manage development transports across the SAP systems landscape, which provides increased audit-ability, and decreases risk. As a senior member of the Portal development team with a focus on application design, usability and quality, Mark is committed to the use of the scrum methodology in G3 to help manage and bring focus to our development process.
