Examples
Here are some examples that illustrate how I used technology to increase my clients' efficiency and saved them thousands of dollars with years of benefits to come.
BASIC:
:: Saved client thousands of dollars in electricity costs
by automatically shutting down PC's at night. Also,
by setting desktop systems to auto-power
on in
the morning, it prevented employees from sitting
idle at thier desks while their PC boots.
Another benefit was the increase in
PC lifetime.
:: Replaced individual deskjet printers ($.14 per page)
with group/shared laser printer ($.04 per page). With
a small office of 10 printers, those pennies add up
to
a significant
amount over time. Ink cartridges cost about $20 each
and hold about 1oz of ink. Translation: ink costs over $2500 per gallon!
(set the laser printer to draft mode for internal office
printing for more ink savings)
INTERMEDIATE:
:: Created custom intranet page for common tasks and set
as the default web browser page. This saved
time when needing to access resources such as opening
help desk tickets, accessing network
printers, or referring to common areas on shared servers
(documents, contacts, calendars).
:: Converted client phones to VoIP service - saved thousands
of dollars in telephony costs.
:: Setup Google search appliance on network to drastically
reduce users data search time (documents, spreadsheets,
contacts, etc).
:: Implemented Blackberry devices to give client an edge
over competitors.
ADVANCED:
:: Moved client servers to data center and setup users
for Citrix remote access to work from home
vs. travel to office.
:: Replaced 60 client PC's with thin clients and connected
to terminal server. ($350 per thin client vs. $850 per
PC) Centralized management saved thousands of dollars
in maintenance costs and increased security via user
policies.
:: Setup client's internal custom time tracking database
for use over the Internet to allow them to sell a
subscription service to their clients. This turned a
maintenance expense into a profitable service.
:: Implemented virtual servers which consolidated 10
pieces of hardware down to 2. Also allowed for quick
backups and hardware independant restores, and provided
savings on power consumption.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
:: Provided all facets of merging 2 major printing companies as part of an acquisition. Responsible for physical move as well as integration of systems.
:: Migration of data center for major healthcare enterprise into new corporate facility.
