IT Internship at Gates- Rotation 1

Gates Corporation?is a global diversified industrial company that provides cutting-edge power transmission and fluid transfer solutions for customers in the energy, exploration, extraction, agriculture, transportation, automotive, and process specialties.?

This spring, I was fortunate to be included as a part of the Gates family as a?Master’s Program IT Intern. It is a rotational program intended to offer encounters in various innovation regions- IT Applications, IT Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, IT Global Services and Digital Innovation.

For my current rotation, I am working with the?IT Applications?team on?Accounts Payable Invoice Automation. The project primarily focuses on evaluating the various APIA tools in the market and recommending the best fit tool to be implemented at all Gates locations. Some of my key accomplishments are listed below:

1.?????Engaged in planning and communication by involving the business stakeholders and finalizing the Project Plan, Project Organization, and the Timeline

2.?????Analyzed the Current State and built a set of detailed requirements by collecting, consolidating, and harmonizing high-level business requirements across all Gates locations

3.?????Researched and analyzed the APIA solution landscape

4.?????Mapped technical capabilities to company specific high-level requirements and currently, in the process of shortlisting vendors as per the research so done?

My project accomplishments so far wouldn’t have been possible without the undying support and guidance of my Team, couldn’t have asked for better supervisors as my mentors- Mark McGrath , Bharath S. . Thank you for all the learning opportunities and constant feedback, it has only added positively to my experience at Gates. Not to forget, Yash Kotnis for always being available to guide and give feedback for my good.?

I would also want to thank George Sesi , Tim Hostman for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this enriching experience and making sure the internship program is indeed a profound learning experience. Special mention to Jaslynn R. for a warm welcome to the office and being ever-so ready to help in any way possible.

I am thrilled to continue my journey at Gates and ready for more learning experiences on the way.
