Somavarapu Siva Kumar

Have 11 years' experience as an Oracle Functional Consultant, with 7 years' relevant experience in delivering various projects pertaining to the Oracle Cloud and R12 environments, extensive business process analysis, collection of requirements, gap analysis, solution design, and system configuration.
I have experience of ensuring end-users get appropriate and detailed support as I participate in comprehensive training programs and ensure post implementation support for effective system adoption. Previous experience includes working with a cross-functional team and interfacing with technical teams while providing value added leadership in client-facing projects. With experience of executing the Oracle Financial modules - AP, AR, FA, GL, and SLA - an efficient and optimized workflow will be ensured.
I have an outstanding acquaintance with P2P and O2C cycles and have a spotless record of preparation of key functional documents that add up to the quality of delivery for the project. I have been successful in the proven results in leading end-user trainings, system testing, and troubleshooting and lead the adoption of the finer user experience while improving the system performance day in and day out. I believe in continuous learning and being updated about new technologies that are evolving in Oracle to deliver innovative and impactful solutions.

I have successfully obtained certifications in Oracle Accounts Payable (AP) and General Ledger (GL). These certifications demonstrate my proficiency in managing financial transactions, maintaining accurate financial records, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards.
