My Experience
An important component of my value as a consultant is the diversity of my experience both from a technological and a management perspective.
Technology -- I bring several decades of experience in applying systems technologies. The following five career projects [spanning four decades] are a sample of my experience. For each project the available enabling technologies were different, but they all exhibit a common thread. They all illustrate how systems technologies can have a dramatic effect on business success when applied creatively to realise important business objectives.
