RECENT EXPERIENCE
For New York City Dept of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT),
Mr. Newman led multi-disciplinary and multi-agency teams in consolidating Messa
ging and Collaboration services to a centralized Microsoft Exchange platform. H
e defined and built the infrastructure necessary to upgrade the Exchange environ
ment from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 (and subsequently to Exchange 2010). A
dditionally, Mr. Newman defined the architecture and led the implementation of a
city-wide Fax over IP solution. He developed all project plans, tracked issues
, performed risk management and worked with senior executives in support of thes
e activities.
For Verizon / Microsoft Consulting Services, Mr. Newman worked in support of an
enterprise-wide Lotus Notes to Exchange migration affecting 120,000 mailboxes.
He developed project plans, tracked open issues, performed risk management, work
ed with senior executives and directed matrixed teams across the three Verizon b
usiness organizations.
For Pfizer, Mr. Newman worked in support of an overall strategy to offer environ
mental and capacity relief in North American data centers while introducing a ne
w server virtualization business-as-usual (BAU) process into the organization.
The objective of the virtualization project was to review Pfizer's pool of 4500
servers across three major North American data centers for virtualization candid
acy and establish a turnkey process for server virtualization. This project pre
sented the technical challenge of virtualizing as many as 15 servers in a single
evening covering a 12-hour period and returning service back to the user commun
ity for these servers within this outage window with a high success rate. Techno
logy utilized during the project included VMWare ESX Server, VMWare VMotion, and
PlateSpin Powerconvert. Mr. Newman was responsible for virtualization process d
evelopment, business engagement/management,change management for virtualization
events, virtualization execution, post-virtualization support.
For eSpeed, Mr. Newman led a team of experts in developing detailed performance,
operations, and configuration data for the existing Microsoft Operations Manage
r (MOM) environment and delivered a management report that include recommendatio
ns for expanding the MOM environment and implementing operational improvements.

lists in analyzing the Windows and Exchange environment and delivered performanc
e and operational recommendations targeted at improving the speed and operationa
l characteristics of the infrastructure.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman led a multidisciplinary project team of 50 which migrat
ed a 120,000 seat Exchange 2000 global messaging environment to Exchange 2003.
Mr. Newman had primary responsibility for project and resource management, archi

ers (hosting messaging, active directory, and SAP and other global applications)
were not impacted during the migrations.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman led a global team of 40 in managing the Windows 2003 mi

s were implemented and that global network teams worked together during the migr
ation as each domain controller was brought into the new environment.
Mr. Newman worked with the Deloitte web services team (Deloitte Online) to desig
n and implement active directory federation services (ADFS) architecture for cer
tain externally facing web services. The Active Directory Federation Services a
rchitecture provided Deloitte with the ability to grant access to proprietary in
formation to trusted external parties (organizations and users) without needing
to set up a mirrored active directory environment to ensure security and data pr
ivacy.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman managed a diverse global team that developed an enginee
ring and deployment strategy for the Windows 2000 / Active Directory migration.
The existing environment included over 100,000 users with accounts in both NT4 a

ject management and reporting to senior management stakeholders, technical and e
ngineering guidance for assessing existing operating environments, interfacing w
ith global operations teams during migrations, developing and documenting server
builds, developing processes for migrating from NT to AD, ensuring that appropr

ssaging implementations and defined standards for its use. Mr. Newman was also
responsible for providing product updates and technology roadmaps to the organiz
ation in the mobile messaging arena.

itte organization. In addition, he worked with Deloitte member firm IT groups t
o develop proposals for SAN implementations based on their current and future da
ta center requirements.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman was responsible for managing the global active director
y. This included the health and monitoring of AD as well as the update and exten
sion process. Mr. Newman developed detailed processes surrounding the AD extens
ion process, and defined the request, approval, and implementation processes. T
he process defined how member firms IT groups, network operations, network suppo
rt, and the global architecture teams would communicate during a schema extensio
n. It also defined the pre- and post-extension steps and reporting processes.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman led a multi-national team in migrating an 80,000 seat c
c:Mail to Exchange 5.5 migration. Exchange 5.5 was implemented on a newly creat
ed NT4 domain. The existing cc:Mail infrastructure was spread over 80 countries
, with mailbox servers in nearly every office. Mr. Newman delivered a centraliz
ed Exchange messaging and network architecture, developed global training plans
and implementation schedules, delivered cc:Mail to Outlook client migration and
cc:Mail server to Exchange server migration tools, established server build and
global naming standards, delivered migration planning workshops to IT teams thro
ughout Deloitte, and created a global user provisioning system. As a part of th
is project, Mr. Newman worked with global network engineers to architect technol
ogy resource centers that would host messaging servers, provide internet access,
and provide hosting for other enterprise-wide applications (e.g. SAP).
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman worked with the Deloitte Global People Directory team t
o provide them with active directory guidance in the development of a Global Pro
visioning Architecture for the Firm. Utilizing SAP, PeopleSoft and other less c
omplicated HR systems as input into a rules-based engine, XML data streams were
produced and fed into MIIS as the basis for a global personnel directory. The d
ata was used to populate active directory accounts and determined access to such
global systems as Exchange and the time reporting systems.
For Deloitte, Mr. Newman was the project manager for the initial implementation
of Windows 2000 and Active Directory which was comprised of both Novell and NT4
domains. This project included the naming and implementation of the original ro
ot domain, all Windows 2000 naming standards, and AD tree definition. Mr. Newma

and Exchange accounts into AD accounts, and created standard hardware and softwa
re configurations. Mr. Newman worked with global IT and business leaders to ide
ntify mandatory and optional AD user attributes.

inventory levels while away from the office, increasing their ability to customi
ze their sales impact and client contact.
