>> My name is Eli Bohemond.
I am senior consultant at Morgan Franklin Corporation.
I specialize in financial management and performance improvement and I've been
in the industry for about three years and several months.
I came straight from Penn State and you know, it's been a great experience thus far.
Since I started, I've gotten to work with probably 10 different clients in all types
of industries, whether it's financial services, human resource management, federal employees,
compliance work, ABC News down in Rosslyn.
And I've done everything like from compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley work, A123 audits to a lot
of data management and enterprise intelligence implementations and things of that nature
and stuff that they don't really teach you in college that you just kind of just pick
up as you kind of get to experience the industry a little bit better.
It's about 25-minute metro ride into DC.
I get to my client site.
If I don't have a badge already like this one here, I would have to wait in line
and then I will get the pleasure of going
through 30 minutes of security, kind of like TSA.
And then finally when I, you know, passed all the tests, I take my belt off, put it back on,
shoes, all that stuff, I finally get to my office and usually begin a bunch of meetings
with teams, weekend review recaps just to see, you know, what's happened on the day-to-day.
And you know, most of my day is spent in front of the computer just pressing away, doing--
you know, answering emails, doing multiple tasks whether it's internal work
for my firm or external work for the client.
At the office, I would be-- I did a lot of data questions.
So we get-- right now, big data is really big thing going on.
So we get tons of disparate data sets and informations coming
in from multiple enterprise resource planning systems such as SAP or Oracle.
And we have to analyze this information, kind of meet with different stakeholders
in the firm whether it's developers or people on the finance team and work with them to assess,
you know, the needs of the finance team and then communicate that back to the developer
so that way, developers know what they need to do, what they need to program
and make sure the functionality is very easy for the enduser.
That usually takes up a good part of the day and then a lot of it is then documenting processes,
going through you know, all the steps that the developers put together to kind of explain
that to the finance team eventually putting training together and then doing training
for the finance team, HR, I mean whoever the enduser is going to be.
