Profession leader for IBM's North America z & Digital Transformation Architect team. Sets direction, provides strategy and guidance and provides appropriate assistance with activities for the architect team and their customers. I also act as "lead Enterprise Digital Transformation architect" and work with customers across North America on solution design challenges. Our large enterprise customers are focused on how to transform their large systems environment from "80's mainframe" to an environment that supports cloud, analytics, Blockchain and other new transformation technologies, and I consult on those issues. Currently specialize in hybrid cloud solutions that exploit the IBM z Systems platform but span the entire application stack. Bill's focus is on transforming IBM's mainframe architects into "full-stack architects" that not only understand mainframe/z Systems technology but also can design solutions that incorporate hybrid cloud front-end technologies that work in conjunction with back-end transaction systems that host microservices, analytics and new technology solutions such as Blockchain.
