My focus for the coming 5 years as an IT professional, consultant and presenter is to continue supporting businesses in creating valuable success through combining technology vision with business need for change. As a professional with +25 years of experience in the IT industry, I use my skilled experiences and talents to get a solid knowledge of the current business situation. I then prepare a new solution or strategy based on the achieved insight and combines it with a proven technology that has a future trend in the market. I thereby support the organization in achieving their future goals. I bring insight into valuable solutions in the data centre from DataOps, Big Data Analytics, Applications, Hypervisors, Cloud & Converged platforms including compute, storage and network. I truly believe and have experienced with IT economics that all organizations have a potential for achieving savings by consolidation, optimization and increased management efficiency and therefore are able to reach a lower TCO for selected infrastructure as well as the entire data center. I am highly motivated to challenge the current situation or business decision in order to secure a long-term strategy with a continuing technology in the most efficient way. It is with this confidence - combined with a passion for technology, that I will pave the way for optimization but also prepare the organization for new changes like Cloud Computing and Social Innovation.
