Introduce Yourself!

Good Afternoon Workfront! My name is Sana and I am the new System Admin for my company - National Heritage Academies. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my children play sports. We are a big football family, so during the fall we are usually at a football game or watching one on TV! I am new to Workfront and am very interested in best practices that other sys admins may have. Best, Sana Sana Perry National Heritage Academies, Inc.

Hello, all! My name is Zoey Cole and I am the Sr Director of Professional Services with Equifax Workforce Solutions (yes...). The Charleston, SC startup company I worked for, eThority, was acquired by Equifax/TALX in 2011. Our focus was on Business Intelligence around HR, Financial, and Higher Education. We're still a tight-knit microcosm in Charleston with a startup vibe but the backing of a large corporation. eThority actually was using AtTask/Workfront prior to the acquisition as we were managing long-term, high-touch engagements with our clients. I built out a data warehouse and web services that pulled the eThority Workfront data via the API and began combining that with data from SalesLogix (Sales), Gainsight (Client Success), and metadata from client's product instances (who was not yet configured, who is behind schedule on their project for loading data, etc.). Come to find out that Equifax also was beginning to use Workfront as well within our overall business unit, so I built a mirroring web service that also pulls in Company, Project, Tasks, and other objects from that instance as well since many of our clients have projects in both the "eThority" and "Equifax" instances. This allowed me to get a more holistic view of what was going on, but also highlighted the differences in the way that the two Workfront instances were configured and being used. Much of the normalization is being handled within the data warehouse and reporting through the eThority platform or Spotfire. Eventually we'd like to combine the instances, but working through the data warehouse is giving us a roadmap of the things we'll have to work through to actually make that a reality. On a more tactical level, my team of Onboarding Managers and Technical Business Analysts use Workfront daily to manage our clients' various projects. So, yes, I am actually rather technically minded (BS in Computer Science, worked as a technical consultant with various companies all of my adult career). I'm originally from Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Virginia and spend my non-working time driving up and down the east coast for my kids' volleyball and soccer, running, playing volleyball, reading, and learning more and more new things. Looking forward to meeting you at my first LEAP conference! Zoey Cole

Hello everyone, My name is Peter Aberg, and I work in a mixed-role as part of the creative department for Ashley HomeStores/Ashley Furniture. We have just implemented WF to control the flow of hundreds of simultaneous creative projects, and I am the head system admin. I've joined this community to learn more about customizing the WF tool for our unique workflows. Other than work, I spend my time with my wife and two pitbulls - mainly doing yardwork. My favorite joke would get me banned from this website ;-D Peter Aberg

Hello - My name is Jen and I am in a new role at a new company as of October. My first job is to help them stand-up Workfront. I am very excited to be a part of the small but growing marketing organization that is putting so much bench strength behind process improvements! As the PM for the team, I will be using Workfront most of the day. Right now, I am learning about how to modify custom forms, update templates and train the team on how to use the program. In my spare time, I run around after a very active first grader who loves to play soccer, basketball and video games! I look forward to connecting with more of you as I have questions about how to better use WF for our organization. Jen Marshall MarComm Project Manager WEX South Portland, Maine 207-523-6144

Hi everyone, Just joined the community as we (PVH Europe) work through the implementation of WorkFront in our IT department. PVH is an apparel company with brands such as CK and Tommy Hilfiger in our portfolio. We're based in Amsterdam and will serve approx. 150 WorkFront users (resources). I'm excited to learn about the features and how we can map our processes to the tool...any support would be most welcome! I'll be trawling through the threads and posting requests for tips and your own experiences to help speed up my own learning process, so you might see a few messages bearing my name. Speak soon, Steve Stephen Evans PVH Europe B.V.

Hi Jaclyn, My name is Dave Koch and I am Digital Asset Manager for Sherwin-Williams. We are still in the contract stage but are heading towards a Workfront implementation. I have started the online training and find it pretty good but was intrigued with your implementation approach and documentation. As I am brand new to this community I am not sure if this is a normal request, but if you are able to share your approach it would be very appreciated. Thank you, Dave David Koch

I completely agree. On Jan 1 we are rolling out our 2nd major revision. This will be our 3rd instance in 3.5 years. Graciously sent from my mobile device.
