Technology isn't the only business unit that falls under Moore's Law - change is afoot in practically every company; and the changes are coming fast and furious. Over the last two decades technology has taken on a significantly expanded role in the success - or failure - of a business. And the rigors of running the IT function has increased in its complexity; security concerns (inside and outside the company), SLA's, smaller staffs and capital budgets call for not only good technologists but savvy businesspersons.
In a perfect world the IT leader would be able to provide the vision to move ahead, be able to budget conscientously and do the implementation themselves, or at least be the project lead. Only the largest companies have the luxury of multiple levels of management - tomorrow's CIO will need to be hands-on one minute, a facilitator the next.
I have all the qualities that can help address the needs of an organization. Having started out in Help Desk and into my present position as the senior technology person, my experiences have run the gamut.
Projects that I've successfully completed include the following:
- Consolidation of entire corporate networks/datacenters
- Managing staff (from 2 to 12 full-time)
- Datacenter builds from scratch (router to back-end servers)
- Virtualization to eliminate clutter/maximize server use
- Data storage array build/config (EMC Clariion & VNXe)
- DR/BCP (Sungard, Veritas)
- Windows 2012, 2008, 2003, 2000, XP, Vista
- Hyper-V & VMware
- Active Directory, GPO's
- Exchange 2003, SQL 2005, SharePoint 2007, Lync 2010
- Cisco 3800 Routers, ASA5520, PIX, 2900 & 3600 Switches
