We are a project-based workforce. Projects are the basis for
innovation and great products and services. Agile methods live
alongside more traditional project management methods. There
is no magic bullet solution. Be flexible enough to use the best
methods for your team. Don't let the tools get in the way of results.

Great software development is a combination of innovative
thinking and a team with a wide variety of resources that is
communicating efficiently. Adding excellent project management
and the ability to keep costs down equal a flexible solution
for today's fast paced business needs.
Mobile solutions need to work seamlessly as standalone or
integrated tools. Mobile tools should streamline input and cut
time from a process, not hinder productivity. Regardless of
platform, mobile development is key to productivity, new
revenues and increased profitability.
I believe IT support should not be a one way resource. Optimized
IT is a collaborative resource that can empathize with users
and work hand in hand to both keep technology running smoothly
AND listen carefully to suggest technology solutions to everyday
roadblocks.
High quality images and graphics help sell packaging. I've been
involved in creating packaging graphics solutions for Fortune 500
companies. Not just dots on paper or plastic, but solutions
including automated workflows, 3D graphics and both web-based
information and content management systems.
Automating a Service Center and the army of mobile service
technicians is no easy feat. Combining workflow automation,
the mobile tools and device management necessary to eliminate
manual and redundant tasks, the results are astonishing.
Improving communications and client satisfaction while improving
profits .. who's up for that?

I have expertise in both onsite and cloud computing. I have scaled systems quickly using VMWare and AWS components.
Software must be able to run on all platforms that suit a customer's needs. Porting software between platforms is something I've done with success.

Automating diagnostics, parts ordering
and vendor billing is possible, right
from the technicians iPad. This saves
time and resources.
Driver routing can be a nightmare.
Using a smartphone or iPad
in the workflow can simplify the
managment of technicians.
Using scalable cloud computing
technology, a company can easily scale
up their service center infrastructure
to accomodate seasonal growth
or overall increases in service calls.
Reporting should be an automated
function in order to achieve timely
and accurate information. Based on
technician input, realtime is reality.
