I've upgraded their accounting systems to MAS 500 and back down to MAS 90. I've created custom SQL based applications for forecasting sales, costs and EBITDA. I've manged systems administrators, consultants, web developers and outside firms. I've negotiated contracts for telecommunications, hardware, and various other services. The computer network is an advanced Windows 2003 domain with Exchange, EDI, FTP, web sites, MAS90, wireless communications, remote users, VPN, Cisco which I built for the company from the ground up. I've relocated the company and managed the process from start to finish. In the last year or so I've diminished my role in I.T. to focus more on online marketing but continue to manage the department and its employees.
