About Harold Bright

Throughout my 20+ year I.T. career I have held many roles within different diverse organizations often focusing on enterprise engineering, documentation, hardware, software, customer service, and network infrastructure engineering. With this, I have also become very familiar with many different modern, IT products, tools, and endpoint management technologies.For the past 10 years my focus has largely been around the modernization of the employee working experience. This includes planning, design, and hands-on implementation of new products, working with businesses to define new computing standards, assisting technologist peers with product operations, and helping businesses transition into more-modern cloud- focused software and platform as a service (SAAS/PAAS) friendly organizations.Through this work I have become proficient with Apple MacOS and IOS products as well as Microsoft Windows workstation and Server products, with close to three years now being largely focused on the development, deployment, and management of modern devices via Azure based Intune, AD, Microsoft Endpoint Management, and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (current branch) technologies.
