Overview: Today's business world is dependent on technology. This technology based business environment requires that business executives understand technology and that technology professionals understand business. Experience, training and commitment have produced expertise in business and technology in both Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial environments. I am a Business Technology Expert who can help a company achieve the transformation into total enterprise e-business enablement based on the value technology can bring to business performance and profitability.

Area of Expertise

Business Technology Status Assessment:

Today's businesses need to know how to determine their status in the use of technology to drive their business goals. I have been involved in the development of a total business status assessment methodology as a foundation for identifying technology priorities based on ROI criteria, selecting technology to be added to the business structure based on standards and scalability, and the deployment of technology based on MBO and ROI to minimize risk and optimize value to business performance.

Business Transformation Management:

I have been the Chief Technologist in the design of a e-business enablement transformation methodology. As the Senior Project Manager for multiple clients I have had primary responsibility for conducting the gap analysis to define client e-business status, create the plan to integrate technology into the strategic business plan and establish project priorities, based on ROI criteria to ensure goal attainment.

Technology Problem Solving and Performance Improvement:

• Companies must escalate technology from a tactical technical issue to a strategic business priority. Most companies face the challenge of having to assess weaknesses in legacy technology, identify risks to their business operations based on aged technology and correct problems made in the past regarding the use of technology.
• I have gained the reputation as a Trouble Shooter in being able to quickly identify areas of risk and loss for companies misusing technology and find cost effective ways to quickly resolve the problem s . The risk to many companies has been in the millions of dollars and threatened the survival of the business. The solutions I created not only eliminate the risks but also produced a dramatic increase in the company's competitive position, operating performance and profitability.
