About the co-speaker:

Todd David Brown
Principal Consultant
Alithya

Gaining a decade of experience as an accountant, prior to being an EPM consultant, gave me the necessary experience to make any application I architect, or build, work for the people that will use there applications day in and day out. My areas of expertise and passion lie in the beyond finance used cases of EPM Planning. Difficult operational planning models that don't fit any mold and focusing in on user experience for those non-finance managers in the organization that will be using the applications we develop.

Examples of the types of solutions I've built are:

- Hospital Staffing models that go down to the hour of each fay

- Warehouse Staffing models that focus on throughput for each location

- Capital Portfolio Planning that removes all of the off-line business processes into a single application, including project pro formas, customized workflow, and project monitoring.
