"I joined Société Générale Global Solution Centre (SG GSC) in August 2006 and I was assigned projects in CRS/Risk domain.  In a short period of 2 years, I have been exposed to many challenges in terms of project management, people management, as well as process improvements. I have gained tremendous exposure in various international forums in Société Générale like Innovation Committees (Asia-Pac), CRS QA Forum, CRS Support Community etc. I got an opportunity to lead a group of functional experts in CRS (Business Analysts) and to take them through a knowledge and skill enhancement program.

In my current role as Sr. Project Manager in ITEC/CRS/ Asia, I am responsible for a team of over 30 plus people, in various projects ranging in multiple technologies from Cobol, Java/J2EE, Oracle, Sybase, Tibco BW, Business Objects catering to multiple banking domains like Securities, Core Banking, Retail Banking etc. I have also had the privilege to interact with multiple counterparts from various locations like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, and few Europe locations.

Overall for me SG GSC has been a very good learning and rewarding experience where I am able to contribute to the company and also achieve my career goals - it has definitely been a win-win situation. I look forward to a long lasting association with SG GSC."

"Being an experienced finance professional - number crunching, reporting expense accounting and general ledger maintenance have always been my interest. I joined Société Générale Global Solution Centre (SG GSC) in August 2007 in the ITES (BPO) division to handle the Expense team.

The Accounts Payable (AP) is an offshored process from New York and London entities of SG CIB. Vendor invoices and staff expense claims have an urgency attached to them in terms of quick payment. Therefore, every day is a challenge to juggle between calls from vendor/staff, process the new invoices, expedite payment on approved ones and ensure the ledger entry is posted correctly. This dynamism is what keeps our team on their toes irrespective of the time. We function like any other AP department; only that we are a call away rather than being a desk away.

Looking ahead, I would like to see uniformity in how Société Générale processes a vendor invoice. This standardization would pave the way to not only improve the process but also raise the service level at a lower cost. I also want to see myself handling AP for many entities/ locations in Société Générale Group."
