Even as I pursued my Master's in Education I knew I wanted to be involved in the IT field. The landscape is constantly changing, the pace of innovation is staggering, and well planned strategies can have a tremendous impact in a short period of time. I earned my first paying computer job in 1998 solely on my ability to fix a "sad mac." A couple of years later I was the IT Director of one of Kansas City's largest ad agencies. In nearly 10 years as the IT Director of MMG Worldwide I saw countless technologies come and go. The rise of cloud computing has foreshadowed the demise of the traditional on-premise client/ server model. There are those that fear this change, and rally against it. I chose instead to embrace the new reality, leaving a {fantastic} traditional IT job to create a consulting group to help others through this transition. At Umzuzu, we help organizations "get there, from here."I enjoy sharing the power of cloud computing with organizations of all types, Software as a service enables them to focus not on their IT, but on their mission.Specialties: Google Apps, gmail, active directory integration, Postini, mobile, Salesforce.com, CRM, Google Docs, training, SugarSync, DropBox, Egnyte, Google Sites, Cross platform (mac) integration, SaaS, Mac OS X, LDAP integration, active directory, citrix metaframe, dhcp, dns, firewalls, freebsd, ftp, microsoft exchange
