requirements. He helped one manufacturing company save over $36,000 in IT spending on a single project. He
provided a solution to one of his manufacturing clients that reduced their nightly processing time by over 60%.
He also reduced the backup time from 2 hours to 40 minutes for a Public Sector client. Unlike most so-called
solution providers, Caroll is able to both sell and implement his solutions. This gives his clients a competitive
advantage when they make IT spending decisions, because they know that Caroll will provide a solution that meets
their IT needs without the frills or undesired up-selling techniques used by many resellers. Caroll was one of the
first Certified IBM System I Power6 Technical Specialists in the US. He holds certifications in both IBM Power
System I Sales and Technical Implementation and has been formally trained each generation of AS/400 since IBM
introduced it 20 years ago.

Rob Baker, Systems Engineer
Rob been working in the technical field for 19 years and became a Microsoft Engineer
in 1997. Since then, he has become proficient in many different areas that include
Network Security, Threat Management, Server Consolidation, and Administration. One
of Rob's most memorable projects was with a company that had 27 locations spread across
North Carolina. Each location was isolated from other offices and each had their own set
of applications and data. Rob was able to bring all locations together in a secure WAN
environment. Rob then designed a VMware cluster and by running Terminal Services
was able to have all applications and data located in one place that was accessible
by everyone at all locations. After the project was complete, the customer was able
to eliminate a server from each location and the IT department was reduced to one
technician. Estimated savings for this customer was $147,000 a year. |
