About Pete Franklin

Ever since I somewhat reluctantly got myself a 'proper job' I’ve been conscious that ‘there must be a better way’. I'd hesitate to call the last few decades a career, but I’ve been lucky enough to have had several roles where finding, following and helping others to follow that way has been my mission. I’ve lived through many generations of technology and worked in a wide variety of business environments, and I have been struck by the similarity of the problems when considered at an appropriate level of abstraction. In the words of the Agile Manifesto “individuals and interactions” are at the core of what we do, and creating the conditions where the right people can have the right interactions at the right time is the challenge for anyone looking to improve the way IT systems are developed, deployed and used. Our understanding of how best to do this is constantly evolving as the technical, business and social context changes, which keeps things interesting.

Pete Franklin Work Experience Details
  • Salesforce
    Agile Strategist
    Salesforce Nov 2018 - Oct 2020
    United Kingdom
    Many customers are adopting Salesforce as part of a digital transformation of some kind. Many customers also look at Salesforce as a modern digital business and would like to know how we make that work. I'm helping our customers be successful in their transformations by applying the lessons we've learned on our own journey, as appropriate to their context. I'm also working to make sure we keep on learning and growing our own knowledge. Best job I ever had (except maybe those few years as a motorcycle courier ;-) ).
  • Differentis
    Principal Consultant
    Differentis Jun 2017 - Oct 2018
    United Kingdom
    I enjoyed my 16 months at Differentis, using my years of technical and management experience to help their CIO clients to get better results from their IT.
  • Capgemini
    Principal Solution Architect
    Capgemini Oct 2014 - Jun 2017
    Since late 2014 I have been Capgemini's technical leader (DV cleared) for a large account in the defence sector, overseeing the application elements of an modernisation and optimisation programme, including a migration to a hybrid cloud environment incorporating public and private cloud services.
  • Capgemini
    Director, Software Engineering
    Capgemini Aug 2004 - Jun 2017
    Rejoined Capgemini as a Senior Architect in the IBM and Java business unit, becoming Head of the Java Development unit within Technology Services in January 2006 and for the whole Development team in January 2007. I then moved on to become responsible for leading the evolution of Capgemini's software development methods in the UK, ensuring our Accelerated Delivery Centres provided an optimised development environment. I retained some customer-facing architecture and process mentoring engagement, and also co-wrote and delivered the training for our Agile curriculum in the UK, Europe and India.
  • Capgemini
    Head Of Architecture And Security
    Capgemini Oct 2012 - Oct 2014
    I was Head of Architecture and Security for Capgemini's second largest UK account. I was part of a management team under whose leadership the key measures of customer satisfaction, quality and profitability all saw significant improvements.
  • Ibm
    Websphere Technical Sales
    Ibm Aug 2002 - Jul 2004
    Technical Sales support and enablement for the WebSphere brand in the UK, with a particular focus on GSIs (Global System Integrators). This was a fun time, my first experience of the vendor side of the fence. Ultimately, I missed the challenge of delivery, so when Capgemini called it wasn't a hard choice to make. Perhaps everyone in the computing/technology business should try some time at Big Blue - there's nowhere else like it.
  • Ibm Global Services
    Senior It Architect
    Ibm Global Services Apr 2001 - Aug 2002
    Senior IT Architect within IBM Global Services Telco practice in the UK. Probably my least successful job - this was not the best time to join a telco practice.
  • Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
    System Design Engineer
    Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Jun 1993 - Apr 2001
    Technical manager then founded the System Design Engineering (SDE) team. SDEs had responsibility for technical quality on a project, ensured by their expertise in process, methods and tools.
  • Tetra Pak
    Developer
    Tetra Pak 1991 - 1993
    Another long contract, working in West London as part of a multi-national distributed team (other sites in Sweden, Paris, Tokyo and Chicago) writing a system that would run all of Tetra Pak's business - personnel, accounts, the lot. Well ahead of its time, it was n-tier client-server, with a GUI provided by Apple Macs running Hypercard, business services in DEC ACMS/COBOL with an DEC RDB database.
  • Bass Brewers
    Developer
    Bass Brewers 1990 - 1991
    I was a contractor working as part of a big team in West Bromwich developing a distribution system, written in VAX COBOL using TPMS/FDMS with a VAX DBMS database. Certainly the best development job I ever had because the office banter was awesome, as were the characters. The lunchtime baltis at Memsahibs were pretty good too. Simon the Superior Programmer, where are you now?
  • Hoskyns
    Technical Consultant
    Hoskyns 1987 - 1989
    Mostly VAX VMS COBOL, Pascal , Assembler with DBMS and FMS - what fun.! We successfully built and slightly less successfully sold an MRPII package written in COBOL which, thanks to an abstraction layer called Strategic Architecture ran on IBM MVS, DEC VMS, ICL VME and HP 3000 (write once, run anywhere :-)). I looked after SA on the VAX platform and installed the product for a couple of customers.
  • British Gas
    Programmer
    British Gas 1986 - 1987
    In the last days before British Gas was privatised it was a good place to start a career. Excellent training and some interesting work.
