I worked for the transportation industry for 9 years; P&O Nedlloyd / Maersk Line (Ocean Carrier) and Kuehne + Nagel (Freight Forwarder). The main transaction sets I've worked with are: 300, 301, 304, 310, 315. I also have limited experience with 810,850,856. However, I have not worked in the transportation industry or with any EDI for the past 3-4 years for various reasons; and now looking to get back into it.
In my positions as E-Commerce Team Leader and EDI Project Manager, I not only took the lead on projects, but also oversaw other E-Commerce Analysts' projects. The analysts and myself worked together with IT EDI programmers to implement EDI with our trading partners. As the liaison between business owners and IT, I was the main point of contact during implementation/testing and the first point of contact for all data/technical issues once we moved into Production. I would analyze any failed data by reviewing interface files, data input, reference data, etc., to try and pinpoint the exact root cause of the failures. If the issue was technical in nature I coordinated my analysis finding with IT. If it was a business issue I spoke with the necessary business owners to resolve the problem. I could go on and on (actually I kind of did..), but this is a general summary. I would appreciate any help in advising the minimum technical skills needed to be self sufficient as an EDI Analyst; and how to get them.
