Highlights from past projects:

Corporate email analysis.  Analyzed annual email operating costs for large healthcare provider. Improved cost modelling accuracy (pre-analysis costs found to have been off by a staggering 83%), recommended vendor change, ultimately resulting in refreshed technology, increased performance for more than 100,000 mailboxes, and reducing operating costs by more than USD$1MM per annum.

Datacenter consolidation.  Tasked to evaluate consolidation of datacenters for Fortune 500 entertainment company, who, through acquisition had grown to 18 datacenters on 3 continents. Through due diligence resulted in reducing the datacenter footprint (to three, one on each continent), increasing operating efficiencies, and broad-reaching per annum savings of more than USD$40MM.
