Founder, Network Specialist / Design and Implementation Manager
We started in the computer industry before the PC as we know it today was in general use, beginning with programming and software reviews for commercial publications. We expanded by troubleshooting and installing DOS (Disk Operating System) in residential environments, then Ethernet networks as they became a standard in business operations. Providing data integrity was of utmost importance, as it still is today.We have managed organisations of 300+ staff, designed many diverse solutions such as firewalls, server layouts, Phone PBX systems, VoIP solutions, Video Surveillance (CCTV), printer installations and organizing trades to repair servers and services. We also tested new emerging technologies like public wireless internet, which has assisted in a detailed understanding of the best way to connect and move your digital data.Expanding our knowledge to offer better solutions for use in the real world has always been an important goal. This has led to research and understand other areas that are heavily influenced by IT, such as CAD (Computer Aided Design), web sites, digital art and media and building integration systems. We have built many business relationships, resulting in negotiated trade agreements, such as Dolby Laboratories, allowing us to create and sell commercial video media content.In 2009, we moved from England to Canada, while continuing to design and install we also refined our skills of Video Surveillance (CCTV), VoIP PBX phone systems and cloud based backup solutions. As the virtual computer industry grows we have created and deployed many VMWare environments from 2 to over 20 servers in a single business location.
