Project:

Built Enterprise-wide Information Systems Organization

Client:

Decision Support Systems

Benefit:

This client had been in business for 15 years and had used consultants to perform all desktop support, server support, and general IT operations since its inception. The owner decided that the function needed to be brought in-house to control costs and increase responsiveness to the firm's, and it's subsidiary's, needs. I came on as MIS Director and created a MIS department from scratch. I did everything from soup to nuts in this situation - running backups to policy development and strategic planning.
