General Electric is a US multinational conglomerate corporation, with service offerings spanning across energy, health & home, transportation and finance.

GE was formed in 1892 by the merger of Edison General Electric Company and Thomson-Houston Electric Company.
Edison General Electric Company was set up in 1889 with the backing of Anthony J. Drexel and J.P. Morgan, which were financing Thomas Edison's research and helped merged various companies in which Edison had a stake.
At about the same time, Thomson-Houston Electric Company, led by Charles A. Coffin, was acquiring a number of competitors and gaining access to their key patents in the manufacturing sector.

I was hired by Pricing Solutions as the OPA consultant responsible for designing and delivering the rulebase component of a quoting tool for GE.
I presented the way of working with OPA in workshops and by distributing concise guidance documents, formalised the pricing policy with the Subject Matter Experts (both on the supplier's and client's sides), set up the data dictionary (Synchronised Attribute Mapping-- SAM), defined the rules architecture and modeled the rules in Oracle Policy Modeling (OPM).
For better understanding and maintainability, I developed complete and coherent source material to expose the business rules to non-technical stakeholders (warranting isomorphism with OPA rules).
I also got involved in technical integration (dealing with the communication between the Java client and the web service) and in testing. I processed a number of change requests to the rulebase iteratively, and provided continuous off-site support after a phase of enablement.
