Bio
Mario Luna - Azure, MCTS, ITIL
One of the best consultant I have ever had the privilege to have onboard. Michael's focused approach and matter-of-factness made dealing with the our requirements a non-issue. It is quickly very obvious that Michael's abilities to surmise and troubleshoot multiple issues quickly and without drama made him the sole reason the Kennedy College IT Infrastructure can be considered a complete success.
Rick Goody
I had the pleasure of working with Michael at Xcite Logic. Michael is probably one of the most switched on technical consultants I have ever met. His skills in strategic planning and reviews are second to none. As well as having the technical knowledge and experience to back this up. If you work in Education or are looking for help with your ICT strategic planning. Reaching out to Michael should be top of your list.
