FusionStorm bought my company TDR in 2006. I went on sabbatical then returned to FusionStorm in late 2009. As VP of Operations I led the deployment of Saleforce.com. In 6 weeks my team went from acquiring the licenses to full deployment. This includes a complex integration with Netsuite using Celigo cloud based middleware.
