ERP Financials & BackOffice Technologies Domain ArchitectAs a Domain Architect I am responsible for designing and implementing technology architecture in Avista's ERP Financials and Back-office functional spaces. I work closely with business leaders in these areas to envision and define their strategic goals and formulate them into roadmaps. From these roadmaps, I propose long-term technology solutions and together we build an execution plan to realize these goals. Avista operates in an agile environment and my development teams execute on the identified projects along with short-term features and adjustments to accommodate the rapidly changing industry demands. My teams and I believe in true partnership with the business to ensure Avista is operating efficiently and effectively so that we can deliver safe, reliable, and affordable energy to the Pacific Northwest. The financial domain encompasses corporate and resource accounting, tax, supply chain, accounts receivable/payable, inventory, and warehouse management. Back-office technologies includes HR, Legal Risk, and many other areas of our operations that serve internal business units within Avista. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to engage with a large range of business groups and functions within Avista and help them solve for a diverse and ever-changing set of challenges. I also have the pleasure of bettering and evolving Avista's internal technology practice working with the Enterprise Architecture Office to constantly evolve our frameworks strategy and best practices.
