There was no PC network at the company when I arrived. We were one of the very first locations to successfully implement DEC Pathworks for Windows 95 connecting DEC mainframes with Windows PC’s. I then showed the CFO and their managers how to facilitate the direct download of financial data to excel spreadsheets and create custom reports which saved hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and eliminated 10 person/hours per day of development labor on recurring financial reporting programming projects. In other words I changed mainframe programming projects to desktop PC Excel spreadsheets. As one of the first clients to implement their networking software for Windows 95, I consulted for Digital Equipment Corporation and Attachmate to show others our success.• Conceived, Managed, and implemented same-day live Lab system conversion facilitating an annual cost savings of $360,000 due to reduced maintenance / support.
