It Director
CurrentAs a Director of Optima Systems Ltd I am responsible for overseeing Sales & Marketing, Customer Relations and Account Management. As well as these, my key role (and my most favourite) within the company is the design, development, efficiency and smooth running of the IT Networks of our clients, as well as our own infrastructure. I have been in IT for over 20 years, and have spent the last 19 of those years with Optima. During this time I have installed numerous Networks and Systems for clients as well as keeping us fully up to date with technologies. I have gained quite vast experience with Firewalls, Cisco as well as other brands, all aspects of hardware including servers, routers, PCs, printers, faxes and scanners and client business specific hardware. I am fully competent with many Operating Systems including MS Small Business Server 2003, 2008 & 2011, Server 2003 & 2008, Microsoft XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 more recently, and have extensive knowledge of all Microsoft Office Products. Over the years I have configured and maintained Servers running all guises of Software including MS Exchange, MS SQL, all sorts of Backup Software, Security Software and various other products used in everyday business, for example Sage Accounting products and CRM tools. I have built up a solid array of contacts covering any of the niche areas that I have not gained personal experience with, so if I can’t do it ‘I know a man who can’ .... these areas range from Telephone Systems to Web Design and Hosting.The ethos of Optima Systems is working with our clients at their own pace of growth. We do NOT use “techno babble” or try blinding them with IT science. We DO ensure clients fully understand all aspects of their IT Infrastructure and discuss everything with them in terms they can understand and relate to. We aim to support them as they are currently, and grow with them and their business going forward. We aim to be a valuable extra resource rather than a confusing hindrance.
