Susan Fermelia

Sue has a B.A. in Management Information Systems and Accounting from the University of Wyoming. The first ten years of her career were spent with a natural gas pipeline company. She began in accounting and was quickly included on pipeline project teams, which led to her assignment to an implementation team for Oracle Financial software.

Later, she joined the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) where she spent two years helping to build their new Highway Project Delivery team. Sue was a valued member of the team working as the Primavera Systems Administrator where she was responsible for administering Oracle Primavera software for over 200 users and more than 300 projects. While at WYDOT, she also gained valuable experience managing projects; she coordinated quarterly meetings with each of the five districts and managed the design portion of all WYDOT Roadway Projects. Drawing on her accounting background, Sue designed reports in SAP Business/Web Intelligence software that included both written queries and formatted reports. Sue also created and taught in-house training courses on Primavera P6 and SAP Business/Web Intelligence to WYDOT.

At Emerald Associates, Sue is an Implementation Specialist and has been successful at drawing on her accounting and project management background to consult with our diverse client base, including oil and gas, engineering, construction and DOTs. With her friendly demeanor and strong communication skills, she has become a talented Primavera trainer and works very hard to effectively implement Oracle Primavera solutions that cater to each client’s unique organizational needs.

Sue has worked as a consultant with Tesoro, Enbridge, Phillips 66, Suffolk Construction and currently EnCana on their P6 database consolidation setup and migration using Emerald's P6-Loader extensively, making the migration and database cleanup much easier and efficient. She has also worked with Husky and Suncor on scheduling, reporting and resource leveling during turnarounds, as well as assisting them both in using Emerald’s TAPS tool for updating their schedules, EP-datawarehouse to snapshot their data and EP-dashboard for comparing and reporting their data and progress. Some of her other clients include Alectra, Hudbay, Keyera, Flint Hill Resources, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, Dufferin Construction (CRH), among others.
