Working in the Systems Development group proved to be an excellent learning experience, as I was given the opportunity to attend various software and "Total Quality Management" classes. I.B.S. uses multiple platforms in order to accomplish its day to day operations. In order to function I needed to know: PC's, OS/2, UNIX, Macintosh, Tandem, Modems X25 and T56 lines, Paradox for Windows, TOBOL, C, and various GUI applications. My main area of concern was "white box" integration testing of new software being released to the production floor. After initial release it became my responsibility to handle any troubles that might occur and to train the machine operators in the proper use of the new software and equipment. My last project was as the lead troubleshooter for the 275 million dollar "Ameritech" contract.

During my employment, Sierra Digital was a vertical database software company geared towards the recreation industry. I performed software certification and technical phone support for a client base of 200+ organizations maintaining annual software subscriptions. Defined areas for improvement and prioritized them for development; certified manuals for Windows, DOS, and Macintosh platforms; while writing the more advanced sections for those publications myself.Extensive travel was required for on-site installation and training to customers with a required working knowledge of various hardware and network configurations being essential for smooth installations. Each site demanded custom reports so the ability to design custom reports using FoxPro and Clipper was needed. All modules had a full general ledger accounting system and were purchased in Single, Multi-User or Multi-Site versions.
