Ghislain Côté
Software Engineer - Integration Consultant - TIBCO Certified Architect
[email protected]
Summary
I am a Software Engineer specializing in Integration.
I works for Logimethods, a Montreal-based consultancy offering leading-edge solutions in EAI, SOA, BPM,
Events, Data, etc., and comprising highly specialized professionals from the entire integration landscape.
For the past few years, I have been involved in many SOA and Messaging projects.
I worked in a vast array of industries and fields, including Banking (National Bank, Desjardins), Retail (Rona),
Utilities (Hydro-Québec), Healthcare (McKesson, RCHSLDM) and Immigration Consulting (Mercan).
Before working as a TIBCO specialist, I worked with two other integration software providers (Software AG
and IBM).
I prefer to approach integration challenges in a pragmatic manner and from a human angle; my main strengths
lie mostly in requirement elicitation, project/solution architecture, governance/prioritization, proof of concept
and implementation.
Throughout my career, my primary goal has been to assist people in making informed business decisions.
