CalPERS - Enterprise SOA, Portal, Content Management Strategy Lead - Innovation Services

June 2008
Working in the Innovation Services Division, with the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) IT Enterprise Architecture Team, I hold the role of Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture, Portal, and Content Management Lead for their Strategy and Planning phase for SOA rollout. CalPERS is the largest public pension system in the country, with $244 billion to invest on behalf of current and future retirees in the state of California, providing retirement and health benefits to approximately 1.5 million public employees, retirees, and their families and more than 2,500 employers.
Per the agency's description: The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) has selected Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to better align its Information Technology (IT) to its business needs. SOA implementation will effectively eliminate redundancy while simultaneously accelerating the delivery of projects through consolidation and the reuse of web services.
I'll be working to help define the new business services that will be offered to stakeholders, ensure SOA Governance policies are applicable and maintained, lead vendor selection for new applications to meet stakeholder needs in knowledge management/business funcationality and services management/portal technologies/future technologies, design security structures to manage targeted functionality per user role, and play an overall role in the execution of the SOA initiative at California's Public Employee Retirement System agency.
