Life at Capgemini - Chapter III

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening! I can’t honestly say I know what time of the day I am posting this and you are reading it. At the moment, I am stuck in a time frame of adding on two hours from the UK, deducting one hour from Denmark to landing in Lithuania which is again another one hour ahead!

The last time I blogged I had then moved to a new project based in Slough working with a client to implement and integrate a SAP based system across two different sites, one in Austria and one in Lithuania.  Six months on and I am still here! J I say that with a smile on my face as I have thoroughly enjoyed the last six months of travelling abroad to different countries, meeting new people, absorbing different cultures, seeing some remarkable sights in Lithuania and most importantly, conquering the challenge of completing a very important piece of work.

Six months in and we are now coming to the testing and analysis stage of our project.  The system we have designed has gone into pre-production testing as we are only eight weeks away from our launch date. On this day the system will be available to all.  The project has been very challenging: I have travelled frequently to Lithuania, working closely with various clients.   It is a crucial stage of the project as it will now spread from testing to migration to final evaluation before go-live in production at which point we will begin the re-evaluation and feedback phase of the project.  The final stages of a project are the most rewarding yet nerve-wracking too as months of preparation and work come to a head!

But work hasn’t totally taken over my life! I have also been made lead for the BTC for our Learning & Development Affinity Group.  The affinity groups at Capgemini deal with different areas of life at work which affect the BTC,eg marketing, events and activities, recruitment and selection – there is a group for each run by a graduate.  The aim is to deal with any issues and find ways of helping the BTC to perform better and enjoy their time at Capgemini.

So, as part of the Learning & Development Affinity Group we shall be looking at ways to assist fellow graduates on how we can improve their learning experience at Capgemini.  This involves improving the training classes available, the types of training classes available, and organising solution centre road shows to help graduates find future opportunities.

Okay - so you could argue that is still work!  But it is a very different aspect of work as you are helping friends and colleagues. I’ve added a few pictures I've taken recently whilst enjoying the lovely summer at Palanga Beach, just to make you jealous ;)  I think it’s safe to say life at Capgemini is… good. Very good right now J

Picture 1: Lovely sunny beach, Palanga.

Picture 2: A stunning picture of the glistening sun shining off a patch of water on Palanga Beach.

Picture 3: An Absolutely magnificent picture taken using the aid of the HDR on the iPhone4 - Stunning picture of Sunset at Palanga Beach. My favourite pic :)

Picture 4: A closing picture of a beautiful sunset fading into the night sea.

All pictures were taken by me - so i hope you're impressed!! :D

Hope to bump into you in the near future ;)

Viso Gero (Lithuanian for ‘bye-bye’!)
