Vocational Day in Perth! - Ben Doyle

This morning, I traveled to Perth to visit the extremely large company of Aviva. They are a global provider of insurance, retirement, and investments for individuals and companies of all sizes around the world. I shadowed with their diverse I.T. department, and had an incredibly organized schedule, allowing me to meet the managers of each department. I was able to get a thorough tour, description, and walk-through of the procedures and projects for the departments of: IT and Change, Support and Design, Application Design & Management, Application Testing and Implementation, and their I.T. Support Services. It was an amazing opportunity! The company is also in the middle of a large undertaking, upgrading their primary management systems to a brand new design. Several of the engineers walked me through the programming and necessary changes, which I found fascinating. I exchanged information with several of their departments, and hope to keep in touch and exchange ideas in the future!
