Michael Cecchini is a Founder and Principal at Itbriefcase. He possess expertise in project management, networking, it strategy, start ups, it infrastructure management and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "As CEO of a small university my position necessarily exposed me to a broad range of departments, issues and technologies. I took over when a legacy IT system needed completely replacing but at the time our team did not have the in house expertise to make the best choices unaided. Neither did we have the budget to make a costly mistake. I liked working with Michael because he would lay out his position and ideas in a way that was understandable to us as a management team and would make clear arguments for platforms, technologies, etc. that made sense to those of us not steeped in that world. And when we made our choices, he delivered. IT professionals have their own jargon and way of expressing themselves that can be a bit opaque and hard to fathom so Michael’s ability to communicate well and make his proposals transparent created the trust so crucial to making important IT strategy decisions. Michael was able to bridge the gap between his specialized competence and our need for clarity." and "I managed the IT of a small company that continually presented the need for growth. The projects were complicated and expensive. Michael and his team figured out anything that we threw at them and always followed through. Marcel Wilson"
