1. Direct oversight of three major programs and 4 operational divisions providing information technology services for the agency. 2. I directly coordinated with the agency directors and its Strategy and Architecture staff while creating the enterprise strategy on consolidating its 8000 servers to under 1000 via Standardization, Rationalization, Optimization and Virtualization leading to Service oriented architecture.3. Created Conceptual Technical Architecture (CTA) structure to collect and organize the necessary requirements and design to support the implementation of Processing Services within the Internal Revenue Service leading to overall cost savings.4. Conducted a pilot using EMC’s Greenplum database based on the open source database PostgreSQL. Utilized a shared-nothing MPP architecture that was designed from the ground up for BI and analytical processing using commodity hardware. In this architecture, data was partitioned across multiple segment servers, and each segment owned and managed a distinct portion of the overall data. All communication is via a network interconnect; there was no disk-level sharing or contention to be concerned with.Documented the strategy that should be followed while making the transition through the Infrastructure Maturity Model and key technology recommendation for optimizing IRS current IT environment leading to adhering to common standards implementation.5. Enhanced architecture development as part of the tasking under Infrastructure Strategy and Investment Planning (ISIP), to move the processing service from Standardization through Rationalized and Optimized. Integrated best business practices from commercial vendors and created an efficient automated process to Virtualize 8,000 system to a common secure baseline. Risk assessment was performed to mitigate possible infrastructure roadblock to offset any foreseen disasters. Risks were directly addressed by policy, technology design, or action at the organizational level

1. I served as a Program manager while leading a global team of 50+ Project managers implementing HP’s high speed Global Voice/Video “HALO” conferencing solution resulting in Nokia savings of approx. $250 million in global travel costs. 2. I partnered with highest ranking officers at Tandberg (Oslo, Norway) to develop solutions for countries that did not offer high speed connectivity. I created the solution that was configured to run high bandwidth traffic over Ethernet on global private and public networks3. Establish IT Governance practice wherein the strategies and IT solutions were implemented for improving company’s competitive position in each key business area. This was done by laying out the future plans of the sub-taxonomy area by giving a description of the major tenants of the strategy The main components, such as Service Management System Business Relationship Management, Workforce & Organization, Business Continuity Management, Supplier Management, Service Planning were identified in reference to the importance it has in relation to the business process.4. Establish Service Support at tactical level based on ITIL best practices for Service Desk & Incident Management, Problem Management, Ops Bridge & Monitoring, Configuration Management, Change Management, and Release Management/Testing.5. Establish Service Delivery at business strategy level for Service Level Management, Financial Management, Availability Management, Security Management, Service Continuity Management, and Capacity Management.6. Implemented stable Technology platform in terms of defining the IT architecture for the given taxonomy process area and integration with the higher level taxonomy & mapped it to applications, function points, hardware, network and information flows.

1. Implemented IT infrastructure management toolset to answer WHO (the client or server sending the data), WHAT (applications are competing for resources) WHEN (Was specific application used), WHERE (does less critical traffic originate), WHY (is application performing poorly), HOW MUCH (data is transmitted and received). HOW FAST (is server response time to application)2. Designed and Implemented Application drill-down views that provided valuable details about network traffic for business-critical applications. It also helped in identifying potential problems by distinguishing between bandwidth contention, latency and server response time problems. This information helped identify the source of the problem quickly, whether it’s the server, application or network—providing proof that it’s not always the network and hence avoiding finger pointing.3. Documented IT Infrastructure to an extent that making it possible to understand the inter-relationships between the components and get a complete picture of the system as opposed to groups maintaining "their" own in a form they find most convenient to them.

1. Integrated cross enterprise processes by translating customer needs into business objectives, biz objective to processes & processes into system interactions and tied customer to process rather than underlying application in a transparent manner and shielded customer from internal processes allowing correlation of engineering, provisioning and after-sales data.2. Improved self-service web architecture to honor strategic business need for value, speed, low cost, consistency, simplicity & mobility.3. Documented business requirements and lead the effort to do so. Organized information and Scope Management: Created achievable project scope by facilitating communication between business strategy and technology management.4. Implemented the workflow based solution affected the corporate bottom line in terms of:Reduce Revenue Leakage: Automated order processing and tightly coupling provisioning with other business functions such as billing; helped reduce order and process hand-off errors thereby resulting in improved revenue assurance.5. Lowered Operating Costs: OSS (Operation Systems support-ERP package) based order Management’s intuitive user tools enabled the applications to be operated and maintained by fewer, more efficient resources, thus increasing process throughput and lowering overhead costs.Lowered Deployment Costs: OSS based Order Management, with its innovative rules management layer and XML integration layer, made product configuration and integration easier while significantly reducing upfront deployment costs.6. Improved “Quote to Cash” Intervals: OSS based order Management architecture helped future-proof our business. The solution’s component based, distributed architecture enabled us to scale up and across our business, as rapid changes dictate.
