      The company lacked an IT presence and needed an individual to handle problems areas that left the business at risk. My main function was ensuring that the business could operate during any type of disaster and well as ensure better accountability in the work place, and stronger security policies.Due to my background and knowledge of systems and integration, I was given the opportunity to implement a new CRM/ERP system to the business, as the previous system was not supported anymore. This changed the business infrastructure, from local server, to cloud based SAAS. My responsibilities included research of best CRM/ERP systems, that would best fit the business, and preparing the CRM for end users. This exposed me to Power Bi and Share Point on Microsoft's products.
