“I have been a Technical-Functional Consultant for 3 years. Today I am seconded to the Axa project. Several projects are in under way at this customer and this one offers several types of MDM: repositories: finance repositories, customers, products. My task is to lead workshops with the customer, collect their needs and advise them on their design choices. Then there is a technical part where we will develop the “real” solution using streamlined methods to show, as and when, the result to the customer so that the latter can measure the progress of the project. This is a validation, always step by step. “ Nour, certified functional technical consultant
