Vice President / Chief Technology Officer Identified as key leader tasked with managing all IT related vendors that dealt with computer hardware, software, maintenance, and consulting. Tasks included price and contract term negotiation, future milestones, and joint marketing projects for visibility. Over 20 years experience with managing data centers running Oracle, HPUX, Red hat, Ubuntu, UnixWare Linux and Windows using EMC, Clarion, and HP Storage solutions. Successfully managed 10 IT costs centers with a total of 28 IT professions. Member of a corporate senior management team responsible for migrating insurance claims data from an HPUX/Oracle environment to a Tandem/SQL server environment. This effort involved event planning sessions, cost benefit analysis, hands on coding, migration strategies, and capacity planning. Oversaw all technology projects for an insurance claims internet application recognized by the insurance industry as a technology leader. The EYEAdvisor application was regarded as the most sought after software by the insurance industry as stated yearly at the RIMS convention. This involved hands on work with the Oracle 10g Web Server that uses Apache with embedded Oracle extensions, |Perl and Shell scripting, IIS for web hosting, HPUX for DSN resolution and Sendmail for SMTP, HPUX/SAM for server administration, HPUX/NFS for cross platform storage management on an EMC Array, and we used a Windows/Radius server solution for LDAP authentication. Managed data center operations for the Medinsights facility that involved moving the data center multiple times, installing, migrating, and upgrading different versions of UnixWare and Red hat Linux,

installing and upgrading different versions of Oracle running on Linux, Cisco VoIP phone administration, Lan/Wan administration and security administration. Worked with IBM Mainframe outsourcing partners to help with cost reduction by reducing hardware and maintenance fees, as well as managing service level agreements and capacity planning. This involved lifting the IBM 3084 with all the peripheral equipment and moving it to the Midwest, installing a channel extender from the corporate office out to the new data center, creating new I/O generations for the new storage, SNA/TCPIP installations and setup, testing and user acceptance.

This involved partnering with the financial departments, creating a plan and a budget, acquiring resources and presenting to senior management. Successfully managed all vendor related contracts and license agreements. One note worthy outcome is with Oracle Database software where I was able to migrate an Oracle named license agreement to a server based license agreement that gave the company perpetual rights to the software and also saving the company approximately $1,000,000. I was successful in managing a team to achieve zero exceptions in the monthly SAS70 audits and also completed the ISO certification. Achieved success in all audits by vendors like Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft resulting in zero addition dollars due to inadequate licensing. Spearheaded a project for upgrading a single Cognos Version 8 environment to a multi node Cognos Version 10 environment. This upgrade boosted performance by 40 percent allowing faster SLAs to the customers. Effectively led an infrastructure upgrade utilizing refurbished HPUX Hardware with later versions of HPUX and Oracle RDBMS that resulted in our month end production schedule running 24 hours instead of 14 days. This upgrade also provided better response times for the Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) users running an Oracle forms 10G application. Successfully completed large scale projects involving technology related due diligence tasks associated with mergers and acquisitions. This involved cross departmental interaction with Legal, Finance, HR, and 3rd party consulting companies resulting in final recommendations presented to board members.
