Thorsten Matzner-Senior Test Engineers for an OpenShift Data and Analytics Platform

As project manager for the Odoo implementation at a small company, I was responsible for designing, implementing, and training a fully integrated CRM and accounting system. Through structured requirements analysis, precise data migration, and targeted change management, I was able to complete the rollout in just eight weeks. The project led to a significant reduction in manual tasks, faster business processes, and increased real-time transparency.

Main Responsibilities

Requirements analysis and process mapping Configuration of Odoo modules: CRM, Sales, and Accounting Data migration (Excel/CSV → Odoo) and quality control Creation of workflows, automated email rules, and dashboards Conducting training sessions and providing support after go-live Project coordination (budget, schedule, stakeholder communication)

Key Achievements

Full implementation of the Odoo suite within the set timeframe (8 weeks) 30% reduction in accounting time and 25% acceleration of the lead-to-sale flow 100% customer satisfaction after go-live, based on survey results Successful migration of 100% of existing master data without data loss Establishment of a sustainable support infrastructure (3-month post go-live support)

Impact

Improved decision-making through real-time dashboards and automated reports Increased efficiency and cost savings (≈ €8,000/month) Scalability for future growth (additional modules can be integrated seamlessly) Strengthened sales and finance departments through seamless process integration

This summary highlights how I created concrete and measurable value for the company through structured project work, technical expertise, and targeted training.

• For a new section of the online shop, a new frontend based on J6EE and JSF was developed. It is integrated into the existing shop via an iframe.

• Access was needed to the backend (DB, web services, other data sources). To implement this modularly, I proposed using an ESB.

• Since the learning curve was estimated to be very high, my alternative proposal was to implement the calls as an EJB3 service.

• As part of introducing new technologies, the build was implemented with Maven. To test and evaluate the sources, Jenkins, Artifactory, and Sonar were set up and team members were introduced to their use.
