In this industry "Consultant" means a lot of things, from contract programmer to management consultant to consulting manager. I have done all of these, and found each of them satisfying in its own way. From 1984 to 1987 I worked as a contract programmer, which gave me the opportunity to exercise pure technical prowess with very little interference from office politics and departmental rivalries. Rather than an actor in such dramas, I was a prop... and that suited me fine at the time.

Beginning in 1987, I worked completely on my own as a system integrator serving the small-business and non-profit sectors. I set up LANs and PCs, installed and customized accounting software and office automation packages, trained people on this new stuff and did a bit of custom programming. This was immensely satisfying except for the fact that working as a one-man-band, I could not get into the larger projects that I began to miss. In 1992, I joined The Wyatt Company (now Watson Wyatt). I began as a support programmer on their Clipper-based HR compensation software and ended up the Product Manager on their new Windows version, HR Edge Reward. In this capacity I learned not only to participate on larger projects but to manage them, and I also heightened my consulting and software sales skills. |
In 1997, I joined Questra, then a growing consulting firm in the areas of IT and Embedded Systems. I came to manage its e-Commerce consulting team, keeping 8 e-Commerce consultants billing, profitable and happy on a variety of projects. After Questra remade itself (again!) into a DRM software firm, I stayed on for another year as a member of its Professional Services team, managing the implementation of the enterprise modules of Questra Smart Service, the integration of those modules into other parts of the customer's infrastructure, and the end-user and administrator training.
