Implementation - Project Manager
Project Summary
Extending over a 3 and a half year timeframe in this role I covered 4 states in the Southeastern portion of the United States. I have deployed over 90K devices, products, and services. These include but aren’t limited to smartphones, basic phones, tablets, computers, mobile device managers(MDM), machine to machine(M2M), private networks, fleet management, asset tracking, and encryption services to name a few. These implementations were as a result of over 300 individual projects with business customers of different needs, budgets, business goals, resources, size, level of security, and locations. The only similarity is that they need to communicate better, more efficiently, in a cost effective manner, and to be able to manage these communications as their needs evolve. The projects ranged in size from 10 to 20 end users up to larger ones that were completed for over 1,000 end users. Each of the projects were take through a 3 step process which are outlined below, under the Strategy section:
