Professional Experience

KPTECH, Mawson Lakes / Rostrevor SA
July 2007 - Present
Lead Support Engineer

In this role I was the senior technical engineer responsible for many projects, and providing guidance and advice for the other technicians.

I was also responsible for getting our Managed Services offering off the ground. This included research into Managed Services methodologies, the sales process, developing marketing materials and building interest within our client base. I drafted our agreement template, pitched the solution and signed most of the clients we now have on Managed Services. I also installed, implemented and maintained the Kaseya software to manage about 100 endpoints.

I researched and recommended the AutoTask PSA platform and was tasked with its entire implementation. I customized the system to our business and set up policies and workflow rules. The hardest part was user training; it was met with a lot of resistance but was eventually accepted. In a short time everyone was sold on the benefits and we never looked back to our “Outlook Calendar and Tasks” method of tracking jobs and billable time.

In addition to being the primary technical resource for the following projects, I was also responsible for scoping the requirements, providing advice to clients and our own sales staff, and following the projects through to completion.

  • 5 SBS installations in 2010, half migrating from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008, the other half migrations from a workgroup environment
  • 2 terminal server installations in 2007 and 1 in 2008, on Server 2003
