 Startup Company: Split off from Sister Company by developing and installing a new
   network which included installing cabling, rack, hardware and software. Established
   vendors and negotiated prices for all equipment for the network including hardware
   and software which resulted in a 40% savings for the company on network
   equipment. I received recognition for the speed and ease of this transition which
   allowed the new company to be established using their own working network and
   increased network performance and productivity. During the move, I transferred the
   users from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange 2003 which allowed for better
   communication and connectivity. Setup VPN and remote access which allowed the
   users to work remotely from any location and significantly increased productivity.
   Setup OWA and OMA to allow user’s to communicate from outside the network.
   Established and implemented a new Help Desk system using QuickBase and
   established company network policies and procedures. Also setup procedure for
   tracking and monitoring inventory and the IT budget. Negotiated, established and
   implemented procedures for mobile requirements and synchronization for company
   Treo’s and Blackberry’s.

  sister company backbone infrastructure, I received recognition and an award for
  moving the entire operation to a new location within 3 days. This included
  negotiating, planning, and implementing cabling network infrastructure, server room,
  patch panel, electric outlets and poles, T1 and PRI lines and also included a new
  Avaya Phone system. I instituted JIRA for Product Development and Professional
  Services to track product revisions, bugs and progress. In an effort to move away
  from Quickbase and further utilize JIRA, I implemented a new Help Desk procedure
  which resulted in considerable savings for the company. I Installed Project Server
  2003, IIS6.0, with Microsoft Sharepoint and SQL 2000. This allowed the company to
  track projects and share documents across the network to further increase awareness
  and productivity.

  order to meet the ISO9000 requirements.

 ERP System: Among the businesses that I have improved is Mass Search Inc., a
