Ghislain Côté Software Engineer - Integration Consultant - TIBCO Certified Architect info@ghislaincote.com 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.
