My last day at Oxfam

Today is my last day at Oxfam. After over 18 years I figured it was time to move on and gain some new experiences.


Oxfam has been using PeopleSoft applications since 2000 and I joined the team in 1997 on a 1 year contract to help with supplier selection and implementation.  I loved it so much I stayed another 16 years.  Oxfam now has over 4,000 users in around 75 countries using PeopleSoft FSCM and HR to manage their global finances, logistics, project management and HR functions.


 




It's been a thrilling place to work - the challenges have been many and great but the people and Oxfam's mission have made it all more than worthwhile.  We have, together as a team, produced a system that has made a real difference to Oxfam's work worldwide.  I'm immensely proud to have been part of that and count it a real privilege to have worked with some truly wonderful people.

But the future holds some new challenges and experiences.  I'm looking forward to joining the team at Cedar Consulting and will, of course, still be part of the Oracle PeopleSoft community.

It's going to be great to have you on board.

Maybe when we're in the same office I'll finally be able to persuade you to do an "I'm Graham Smith and this is how I work" blog post :-)

Hi Graham, it was great to work with you over those years at Oxfam GB. I've learnt immensely from you and of course from other team members.

I'll miss you here in the Oxfam House but please come over for a cuppa when you have some time. It will be great to catch up with you.

Good luck with your new challenges.

Abbas @ Oxfam IS.

Graham, I wish you the very best!

You better write a "this is how I work" post for Duncan. Now that you share an office, Duncan has enough access to you to take photos and write a, "He is Graham and this is how he works" blog post.

@Rambabu I highly recommend a new book, Mobile Applications Development for PeopleSoft by Jim and Sarah Marion. It has a really good intro chapter on building Fluid applications. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015TS39AA?keywords=peoplesoft%20jim&qid=1446649511&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Good luck. Happy developing!
Graham
