Development ManagerIn the 80s and early 90s I was a development manager for ICL's terminal systems product range and Retail Systems supermarket offerings. In the mid 80s I oversaw the design and managed the implementation and delivery of a terminal system that became the fastest product in ICL to reach £100m of revenue. Considering that price of a terminal system was in the range £10k to £20k (depending on configuration and options) the volumes shipped had to be very high to out perform mainframe sales.Design AuthorityIn the mid 90s to 2002 I became Fujitsu Serevices internal IT design authority. During that time Exchange 5.5 was rolled out across Fujitsu Services international territories. I design the overall architecture of this and installed a number of the international Exchange sites. Not a glamarous role as I generally only saw the office and if I was very lucky a hotel.Customer Solution ArchitectIn 2002/2003 Fujitsu Services was desparate to increase the number of its Microsoft customer facing consultants. To that end I switched from an internal customer facing role to an external customer facing role. Due to my background I worked with customers from the CIO downwards. I was never afraid to get my hands 'dirty' as I regularly not only designed the solution I implemented and tested it as well.Specialties: I have a very broad range of knowledge which varies from very deep to just amout of knowledge to understand how it can fit into a design. My main expertise is Microsoft Exchange 5.5 to 2007.
