• ISR Consulting Services (RPI)

  Senior Investigator

  Researched the existing information technology infrastructure and developed a re-alignment strategy of the major information technology subsystems used by the NYS Department of Transportation (DOT). The NYS DOT is comprised of 11 independently operated and controlled regional offices. Each region has evolved separately in their use and development of IT infrastructure and expertise over then last 20+ years. While there has been a recent move to centralized applications, the majority of applications have been designed to be program specific and lack enterprise-wide integration. My responsibility was to assist in the formulation of a comprehensive centralization strategy for IT management and executives. This included redefining the statewide agency's new role in the first major transformation since the 1950's. NYS DOT is moving towards a more customer focused agency as fewer new capital projects (roads and bridges) are anticipated, but more information services are provided through Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) and Transportation Operations Centers (TOCs).

  I was responsible for the development of a strategy and implementing the highly public agency's statewide migration to a 32-bit operating system (Windows NT) from its DOS based clients with UNIX based server platforms. This was accomplished discretely while the agency was engaged with the United States Attorney General's office in bringing antitrust litigation against Microsoft. Responsibilities have included creating and deploying master images, securing the Windows NT workstations, integrating and managing desktops with Zen Works 2 on NetWare 4.11, and setting up 32-bit & 16-bit Oracle Client interfaces in NT. I performed all necessary hardware upgrades, software installation and delivery of all 12 regional LAN servers for the NetWare 4.11 migration. Significant priorities were on the technical aspects of emerging network technologies, deployment methods, and application compatibility. I supervised 2 to 4 teams comprised of technical staff of 15 to 20 during deployments as the Project Team Leader. I successfully converted over 2,200 systems to Windows NT Workstation 4.0 using fast Ethernet from DOS/WIN 3.11 clients with token ring, with little to no downtime for end users both on schedule and under budget.
