Opportunity to use the whole toolbox! I'm leading teams that manage and develop Appian (workflow), SharePoint (collaboration), OpenText (documents management), Astoria (content management). We also provide hosting of development and staging environments for applications in .NET and ColdFusion developed by other Army agencies. You name it: absorbing and communicating requirements, project scheduling, staff development and support, customer intake and outreach ... and doing everything I can to manage changes: like relocations and down-sizing; and initiate changes: like minimizing the number of teams required to migrate SharePoint sites from SP 2007 to SP 2010.
