• My services integrate each client's IT strategy and marketing objectives (below), with their organization's SFA/CRM systems (via direct and through nurturing campaigns), ‎ecommerce, ‎operations/ support & finance groups. These services have consistently generated at minimum 3- 4 times the response as compared to similar programs, ‎at 1/2 to 1/4 the comparable spend. Respectively each client ROI is often 100x or greater their investmen‎t.
• To the goals of ecommerce, leads, content publishing, info/support and branding - generating impressions, clicks, conversions & spend (factors), I employ best practices ‎supplemented by deep competitive, site & industry analytics to profile the patterns of who/ what your prospects follow (social/ topic/ influencer), search for (keywords; ‎longtail), how they behave (ex: visitor views, posts, comments, abandoned shopping cart, etc.), type/form (text, graphics and/or video over web, mobile & tablets), who they ‎are (demographics) and where they are (geographic/GPS), including audiences that share common similar profiles (e.g. social doppelgangers), down to the message level (e.g. ‎optimized targets, filters, bids, headlines, messages, landing pages, etc.).
• I provide on-going A/B testing for alternate headlines/ displays, text & landing ‎pages, associated with performance analytics. I use first what is working best w/ creative addition, and then improve/expand - managing each campaign for coworkers, ‎clients & management with regular competitive, predictive and performance analytics. Reports include total leads, calls, view durations, signups, sales, etc. as marketing funnels, ‎analyzed by KPI changes to the CTR, Conversion rates, CPC and CPA on new and test campaigns, with an equal focus on targeting new business and remarketing (for higher ‎response rates from recent visitors). I manage campaigns by watching CPC = CPA * conversion rate.
• Included: Dynamic Tracking URLs, UTM URL mark-up ‎for other media links (ex: social, email, newsletters, etc.), SEO, and GA custom mark-up to the web header & in-line code, to facilitate event tracking, performance ‎monitoring (status/growth) & the on-going optimization for all of a client’s marketing channels and promotions under Google Analytics, supported by SMM.‎
• For SEM lead generation, I include copying the top competitor’s top keywords & bid price + 5-10 (or 20% +1st page bid) for those words, eliminate wasted spend, ‎schedule, demographics, add callouts & associate a high quality custom landing page, typically w/ a lead generation call to action (high value content or web/mobile app ‎download). I can also offer development, management & support skills to optimize organic search and enrich digital marketing programs, including: mobile development, ‎advanced SEO, the management of SMM programs and the integration of digital marketing with CRM/ SFA.‎
• My offer to savvy client marketers: Tag management services (rules/triggers; tracking variables) creating actionable data from their web sites, insightful enterprise ‎dynamic analytics, cross-platform/device services, lookalike audiences (1st & 3rd party data), dynamic creative ads, programmatic bidding, attribution modeling, A/B testing, ‎and campaigns for remarketing (based on previous visits to a web site, or to specific pages/events (ex: product page, downloads, checkout, remove item, etc.).
• SEO: In addition to the focus of SEO management, that works primarily on architecture (from general markup, and trouble-shooting issues like duplicate content, redirects, ‎inbound quality links, etc.) and high value creative content (addressing the visitor’s interests/needs in their language) – Today, this role should also include a DevOps ‎component, supporting user experience issues that clearly affect SEO ranking – like site speed, site security, intuitive navigation of the website content (3 clicks to any data), ‎and mobile optimization (redeveloping with amp), measuring performance of these enhancements respective to CTR, page views, time spent & the bounce rate of new ‎visitors. Furthermore, organizations publishing structured data should employ schema.org mark-up, as this was designed in cooperation with the search engines.‎‎
• Coverage: The digital & traditional marketing services I have implemented as contract services include but are not limited to: SEO (local, ‎international & ecommerce), search engine marketing, display advertising, remarketing, social media marketing/ads, social media ‎management, mobile advertising, mobile app installs, video advertising, RSS marketing, blog marketing, content marketing, native ‎advertising (article & Ezine publishing), social media management, and email nurturing campaigns. I also am familiar with PLA's and ‎programmatic/RTB advertising.‎ For more details, see my resume addendum.
• I will insure we generate the highest ROI per marketing objective, for each type of digital marketing technology.
• More: Print/video collateral, press releases, training/user docs, email/newsletter nurturing campaigns (since 1986), hosting webinars & video conferencing events, speaking engagements, ‎meetings/reviews with industry experts, managing partner programs, referencing authorship of 25+ white papers and more.

• I am not available for relocation (as I am done moving back and forth across the country), but I am available for up to 95% travel.
• I am male and of Asian descent. I do not have or ever had a disability. I am also not a veteran (I was not drafted in the last year of the draft - circa 1972).
• I’ve been a food and merchandise driver for Spark/DDI/Walmart for the last three years. You might find that strange, but it has afforded me a life where I haven’t been on call 24/7 and I’ve been making over $120k per year at it. On the other hand, carrying 150 pounds of merchandise and groceries up three flights of stairs and covering 250+ miles per day is getting to be a little too much for me. Therefore, I’m anxiously returning to the challenge I love of being a senior business and technology consultant.

ADDENDUM – DETAILS (Operations, Models, Tools) PER ROLE - PHILLIP R. NAKATA (INCLUDING WHITE PAPERS)

COO, CBO (Chief Business Officer), Truenode LLC:

• The target market was to be a growing competitor to AWS and other Cloud providers, but to be more secure and offer the service at approximately one fifth the competitive cost, paying only for data vs. bandwidth.
• The most unique characteristics of the service was the encryption and the DLT technology implemented over private (and corporate) laptops and cell phones (few gigs per) that paid private users for their storage.
• Our company held the distribution (and development) contracts for Colorado and non-exclusive rights for the major west coast. The practice also was focused on the SMB market vs. the major corporations.
• As COO/CBO focused on strategy, developed very sophisticated business plans using a highly advanced version of Business Resource Software Plan Write Expert 10 – that focused on strategy and asking the tough questions like ‘what is the probability that your developer might become a competitor?’.
• Due to the secretive (confidential) state of development for this Distributed Ledger Technology based solution (think Hybrid Blockchain), currently in late Beta stages of implementation at one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers (and the original player), discussions on this topic are limited to personal interaction with one of the company's officers.

Grocery, General Merchandise & Food Shop-Delivery Driver, Spark/DDI/Walmart & DoorDash:

• From the ‘users’ point of view – this reflected everything from on-line ordering (and live interaction with customers on order substitution), fulfillment and inventory management, to the GPS navigation (with real problems on queueing multiple 5-20 order drops), to handlings bugs and workarounds with the delivery application, to managing returns… to competing with drivers using hacked versions of the app to secure the best paying trips.
• Worked with Spark’s second level support to troubleshoot app bugs and issues related to backend infrastructure and related software problems (not real bugs but performance issues related to throttling the service during the big holidays.
• The biggest problems were (1) Orders not marked as ‘completed’ that continued’ that kept on being issued to other drivers who would only receive a ‘show-up’ payout of $2-$3 even after a long drive to the pickup’ location, (2) Pre-loads of destination directions for large general merchandise trips – whereby the service often tried to make the driver return to previous stops (as compared to superior messaging control – e.g. like IBM MQ/MQSI), (3) Route mapping by Apple or Google maps GPS that often takes a driver near to the destination address but outside of a complex’s wall or separated by a large field, (4) handling client returns that often were not worth the cost of a driver’s gas, (5) taking jobs/trips that by distance and payout similarly were not profitable, and (5) working under extreme weather conditions – where often I was the only driver supporting the 20 mile zone.
• Note: The really interesting new player to the ‘delivery gig’ is DashMart by DoorDash. This is a concept like a twist between Instacart and Walmart’s shop & delivery service offering but with (1) a rich 24X7 offering in major cities (in those areas, they have their own stock of the most popular items, and (2) they are focused on a limited selection of the most popular (and profitable) items. They are much bigger than Instacart – perhaps they will buy them?

Founder & Managing Director, Relationship Based Services:

• This was a set of services: (1) To deliver personality profiles on anyone from their Linkedin.com profile or via a targeted prospects social media profile and discussions, and (2) Sets of reports for (a) one on one interaction between profiled individuals (member to client and member to member) and (b) group interaction (ex: each person’s personality interaction with individual other profiled members or to the general group. The other target market was to provide richer support for dating sites.
• This was a customized SaaS implementation of Crystal (DISC personality profiles from Linkedin.com and/or social media.

Director of Strategy, Business Intelligence & Architecture, Digitally Dominant Automotive (DDA):

• The world of… Markets (OEM, Dealer, 3rd Party, Clients), Technologies, Players (Dealerships), Strategies (missions, packaging, alignments, approach), Deliverables (apps & services), Data (business intelligence), Productivity (sales, goodwill, customer satisfaction), Philanthropy, Multi-Channel Revenues & Profits… and Fun.

Of note: the envelopes and custom signatures were the key features that no other service at the time was willing to do.

North West Regional Sales Manager, Digital Microsystems, Inc.

• Digital Microsystems was one of the first multi-user computer systems. They also supported a limited number of multi-user applications (e.g., Wordstar – the predecessor of Word, Spreadsheets, multiple accounting systems (remember Peach Tree?).
• When they moved to England they became the primary competitor to Apricot Computers and their primary contract was with British Telecom (England’s AT&T).

Manager of OEM Development and Technical Support (Thousand Oaks CA), Vector Graphics, Inc.

• As the last of the full-line manufacturers (custom chips, 3-5 layer motherboards, S-100 design), every manager’s job included serving as a QA inspector – both on the manufacturing floor and for software.
• With a business background that included accounting, I also supported Vector Graphics custom programming support for both Peach Tree and

.

• Vector’s lines of both OS and application software was unsurpassed at the time when most hardware companies only sold basically hardware.

Sales Engineer, Mathematica/Martin Marietta Data Systems

• Mathematica was both a leading R&D firm along with early programming support for their corporate and government clients the included LSAT (The original Law School Testing Service), TRW (credit check), large NY law firms. They developed RAMIS II – the leading IBM Mainframe database at the time.
• I assessed all software for the corporation, while learning approximately 100 primary and secondary applications to support Mathematics’s many clients.
• Attended multiple levels of hardware troubleshooting and maintenance training for Vector Graphics, Mathematica’s system of choice (as the world’s first business computer vs. the IBM System 36.
• Helped Vector Graphic troubleshoot their ‘market first’ multi-user design (which is what got me to Vector).
• After Mathematica was acquired by MMDS, Mathematica/MMDS became a major IBM ‘Grey marketer” (switching off from VG), as they held both general reseller and VAR status. Most of this took place in Greenbelt, MD – I remember so well filling my corporate van with hard drives, and PC boards.
• Other noteworthy services supported (1) Clean up of the FAA's Flight Maintenance Records, and (2) The establishment of the first credit card promotional service based on a credit check (e.g., in conjunction with TRW); this was one of the few projects I have regretted working on, realizing what this offering's effect has been.

Mid-Atlantic Asst. Regional Sales Manager, Gulf Development Inc.

• During my first three years in direct (outside) sales, I studied all the greatest techniques from Dale Carnegie, Charles B. Roth, Arthur C. Douglas and Paul McCalli, and specialized in one-call closes.
• As Asst. Regional Sales Manager, the role was mainly about field training (to test towns), managing my teams (regions), doing sales admin work, and serving as the regional contract negotiator.

About Me (Pre-CV - Life till age 27): Japanese Sansei (3rd generation USA), Family, Growing up, Hobbies, Sports, Influences & more:

• I was born in Schenectady NY, near the nuclear particle accelerator which was my father’s former lab at General Electric (Rensselaer Polytechnic). My Nisei (2nd generation) mother was of the noble Sakamoto clan (her Issei father was the son of a Buddhist priest, who became a cabin boy, learned 6+ languages, became a pharmacist, and thought-leader (philosopher) in a Judeo-Christian Church and for the Communist movement), was one of the first USA women architects (winning many awards for Frank Lloyd Wright type architecture; Masters Architecture: Ohio State), along with being a chairperson for the American Ikebana Association (and achieving a 2nd Masters Degree in Computer Science).
• My Nisei father (first son of the Nakata clan; 2nd generation in the USA) was part of the 442nd regiment in WW2, graduated from Stanford (MS in Electrical Engineering & Physics) and San Jose State (Chemical Engineering), and was a senior (VP) High Voltage, Physics and Chemical Engineer for GE (30+ years), with 28 patents (the last in 2004 at age 80), and works that included the first patent for underground wiring, the electrical system for the first nuclear powered submarine and many super secret works for European and Asian industries. My father’s boss for 30+ years was also Chairman of the Physics Department at MIT, and Chairman of the World Wide Energy Council.
• During WWII, my father was at Heart Mountain, WY, while my mother was at the Poston, AZ internment camps.
• My younger brother (Hopkins, UC Berkley and Penn Law School), a marathon runner and cyclist, worked originally for the SEC, before a lifetime career as the head of the US Justice Department supporting handicap services. Now he’s in software. All my other immediate relatives are senior business, science and legal professionals (ex: Controller for Pacific Electric and another Controller for Philip Morris). My direct lineage can be traced back 2000 years (Shimizu => Nakata).
• I grew up in Bryn Mawr, outside of Philadelphia, near Villanova University, and the Bryn Mawr Women’s College. I built a binary computer at age 10, won multiple science fair awards, owned all the local kid businesses in my area (yard, snow, babysitting), was an Eagle Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster, and VP-Junior JACL (Japanese American Citizens League), whose hobbies included building models, electronics (color TV), woodworking (Natural style; my uncle is George Nakashima), scuba, skiing (Snowshoe-Killington, USA to Mont Tremblant-Saint Sauveur, BC, Ski Host at Mount Hood, OR), fossil hunting, lapidary-gems, camping, hunting, fishing & Shotokan Karate (20 years).
• Working PT while attending UPenn, my physics professor won the Nobel Prize for Superconductivity. As a Physics & Chemistry polymath, I answered my Organic Chemistry Final by applying Quantum Mechanics to Organic Chemistry, getting all the answers right, but from nonstandard methodology (1974 Nobel Prize - Magneto Hydro Dynamics – same tech as my energy project). I also worked on a project to end most hereditary diseases at Children’s-Jefferson hospitals. Please don’t hesitate to inquire-interview about my work on other world-industry-changing projects. I love talking about biometrics and have a nice white paper on web security. And then there was SMRC (sigh).
• I was married for 23 years; divorced over the childhood death of my youngest daughter. My son is 39 and lives with me (computers), and my daughter (33), former SMRC Treasurer, artist & language specialist, lives with her boyfriend in Idaho. My last dogs for 16 years were Chow-Chows (dear ‘Harry’ & ‘Honey Bear’, each a personality).
• I worked though out my college years - during free day hours (between classes) I'd was a outside sales rep (door to door), and during the nights when I wasn't studying I was a short-order cook at Philadelphia restaurants near the University of Pennsylvania. After my undergrad years, I started out as a restaurant manager who became a hotel Executive Chef (Hilton, Best Western). I was recruited then in sales as a headhunter for the restaurant industry before becoming a generalist. After a year I re-enrolled at Wharton Graduate School of Business. Unfortunately, running out of funds, I started my professional business and technology career.
• More?; Ask me about: a garage of tools (wood-car-electric-yard), cameras (architecture, high-speed, distance-angle), my software collection (1000’s), hacking-cracking (programs-systems-wifi), movies (1000’s/DVD), android app development, networking & servers (web-ftp-mail-security-dns-message-conferencing-video-music-broadcast-database-comm-object), priceless Japanese antiques, computer peripherals, my neighbors growing up (J&J family, Theodore Presser Music, Flyers), ice hockey, fishing, pets, wines, white water, cars, cycles, camping nationwide, my RV, music (deadhead & DVD collection), sales, culinary arts (executive chef), sushi, restaurant mgmt., quantum & super-computing, common services (IBM’s most valuable intellectual capital), mind mapping, Open Source evangelism, places I’ve been, why I know so much about search (because I used to code the spiders & worms), or owning a stake in a horse ranch (Beckley, WV) on the New River (remember the movie Deliverance? - life is very like that there; very rural where generations live witho any formal education). On the other hand it's the perfect getaway deep in the heart of nature (President Roosevelt had a private train from the White House so he could go hunring Elk in the area around White Sulphur Springs. It also boast some of the cleanest water in the world (from deep caverns under the mountains) where many of the top National fish hatcheries for rainbow, golden rainbow, brook, brown and tiger trout are located and ship out to 2nd hatcheries thoughout the U.S.

Presented below are links to 3 personality assessment tests that I have taken, typically used by HR (onboarding & reviews), Sales (to boost productivity) and Program Management (helping them to work better together by understanding the subtle dynamics of 'relationship chemistry'). They have been in use since the late 1950's, typically in large, major corporations.

• DISC Personality tests are an emerging market standard largely because (1) their profiles can be derived from either direct testing or by their association with Linkedin.com profiles which provides a surprisingly accurate assessment of their personality type as compared to tested results (30-45 questions), (2) because of the science's mapping of the resulting 'relationship chemistry' between individual or group interaction - whereas the other testing results in a deeper analysis of one's personality. They include advise about the individual along with reports of dealing with each individual other member or group interaction. Advisories include topics like 'What comes naturally", "When speaking to this individual", "What motivates them", "What drains them", "In meeting with them", "To convince them", and "When working with you". The link to my DISC Personality Profile is at: http://tinyurl.com/2cdwlzpn. NOTE: The pragmatic use of DISC falls outside the real of its' competition, applied for sales in addition typically for human resources. DISC stands for (D)ominance, (I)nfluence, (S)teadiness, and (C)onscientiousness, although critics often say it represents (D)ominance, (I)nducement, (S)ubmission, and (C)ompliance - but frankly, I think that is criticism comparing it to old schools of thinks.
• Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test profiles were the market standard pretty much across all industries participating from the late 1950's through the early years of 2000. Based on asking 90 of situational along with general questions. Their general profile types (where most analysis produce a mixture of 2 types integrated) define one's temperament (type, introversion factors vs. extraversion factors), Thinking and Feeling, Judging and Perceiving, Natural Intelligence, Logical vs. Mathematical Intelligence, Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence, Bodily / Kinesthetic Intelligence, and Brain Spheres (Left or Right Brain profile). The link to my MBTI profile is at: http://tinyurl.com/2cu25fjt
• Five Factor Model (FFM) personality testing became the market standard as MBTI was loosing favor after 2000. Claiming to probe more deeply, the five basic factors (analyzed in-depth the 30 factors for the 5 major factors in the report) are: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness (Work Ethic), Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Natural Reaction. FFM tests ask from 60-120 questions. The link to my FFM testing results is at: http://tinyurl.com/2cu25fjt

=====================

• You will find that the results of the three different testing methods are remarkably the same for all three tests. Respectively, between October 2018 and October 2019, I pioneered the testing and relationship reports as a SaaS offering.

• Till 2019: Sales, Sales Management, Programming, Software Architecture, Cameras (architecture, high-speed, distance-angle), my software collection (1000’s), hacking-cracking (programs-systems-wifi-systems), movies (1000’s/DVD), android app development, networking & servers (web-ftp-mail-security-dns-message-conferencing-video-music-broadcast-database-comm-object), priceless Japanese antiques, computer peripherals, my neighbors growing up (J&J family, Theodore Presser Music, Flyers), ice hockey, fishing, pets, wines, white water, cars, cycles, camping nationwide, my RV, music (deadhead & DVD collection), sales, culinary arts (executive chef), sushi, restaurant mgmt., quantum & super-computing, common services (IBM’s most valuable intellectual capital), mind mapping, Open Source evangelism, places I’ve been, why I know so much about search (because I used to code the spiders & worms), or owning a stake in a horse ranch (Beckley, WV) on the New River (remember Deliverance?).
• Since 2020: Distributed Ledger Technology, Business Planning, Prototyping, Trouble-shooting SaaS applications, and more.

Related Skills and Software Reference:

• Related Skills: Within the bounds of most profiling services, only the major categories (family) of technical skills are referenced (with competency ratings). Respectfully, be assured that my experience, considering the roles, industries and technology/methodology applied - can easily be attained to your sub-requirements (e.g., like 'teamwork' as a subset of 'sales management'). Especially with roles combining deep business and technology skills, this is the biggest challenge in meeting very exacting specifications - but if you allow the supervisor for the role to review this profile (typically reserved for executive recruiter hires vs. HR reviews), they should instantly recognize this if as they are likely, deeply familiar with alternative apps - plus I am a software architect beyond everything else.
• Related Software: Within the greater bounds of most software profiling systems, considering such experience is with customized, leading industry-standard frameworks, specific software experience can often be substituted for job requirements, provided that such experience does not need to be ready day one. Throughout this CV, specific reference is made (Bold Italics) to frameworks utilized, along with similar edits for selective frameworks. Respectively, my ramp-up time is about one week for previous experienced services, and two weeks for related software experience. I am a very fast learner as reviewing competitive apps for features, workflow, functionality, and enhancements has been my regular hobby since 1986 through today.

Find below samples from more of the business side of me than my main focus for 20+ years which was software architecture, ERP services (managed services) and sales automation related frameworks and services. This more recent activity dealt with Hybrid Distributed Ledger Technology (where Blockchain is a subset), behavioral biometrics, CRM 3.0 (Smart Cars), Digital Marketing and Artificial Intelligence (most recently with OpenAI). It should be noted that Linkedin.com has recently incorporated a similar approach that can be utilized in their social profiles and Sales Navigator service. Note also that earlier examples demonstrating my more technical experience/skills were not possible, mainly due to confidentiality/IC issues for my former big corporate employers.

Now supported by AI-based tools (more than just scripting assistance) this allows me to engage my software development management skills again, as these tools can now support code reviews: Specifically, ChatGPT swiftly analyzes the code changes, identifies potential issues, bugs, and security vulnerabilities, and provides AI-powered insights at one's fingertips, with prompt feedback. Within moments, it provides feedback on the code changes, offering explanations and suggestions for improvements. It was also responsible for generating my most recent research report as shown below:

================

The Cloud Computing Marketplace: A 2023 (un-biased) AI-based research study of the U.S. cloud marketplace (size, growth, key usages, technology, challenges and opportunities), the top four players and their challenges, emerging competitive technologies and frameworks, and Truenodetech.com's business and technology overview and comparison to the top four players, conclusions, and the well-established sources of research used to generate this eye-shocking report. This is a must read. Located at: https://cutt.ly/CloudComputing-Market-Competition-Truenodetech

==============

Relationship-Based-Services (RBS): Based on psychological approaches that have been evolving for hundreds of years, this engagement centered around applied usage, for sales and marketing, as compared to its' well established application for Human Resources. Using reliable assessments of a person's writing and/or social media posts (as opposed to live testing), mapped against any individual salesperson's persona, it provided advisory for the salesperson to engage with a consumer to attain at two times as many sales.

NOTE: The real "magic" will happen when this technology will someday be merged with AI. Rather than having to 'adapt' the salesperson's behavior to be most compatible with a client, the AI will be able to simply adapt fully to the personality best suitable to the user.

==============

Digitally Dominant Automotive (DDA): While the primary functionality of this business and technology engagement was to support 'Smart Cars' maintenance research and scheduling (based on dealership service records, live diagnostics, and the IC from aggregating each manufacturer's technical resources including engineering notes, along with independent automotive-specific market research), behavioral biometrics (again sophisticated personas) were designed to support the equity-mining re-sale process (upgrading an earlier consumer purchase), by mapping how a specific salesperson's persona interacted with a customer's persona (processed via an analysis of their writing style or social media profile).

• NOTE: This engagement includes both smart diagnostics (1) live wireless remote diagnostics from a car’s custom OBD-II, for predictable and live failure rates, associated with (1b) live manufacturing data (diagnostics to field and dealership repair reports), (1c) 3rd party statistical data (ex: Edmunds), and business intelligence (2) the direct application of an emerging form of BI (e.g., personality in addition to the industry standard purchasing profile – from geo-demographics and owner equity to brand loyalty). The business and technical documentation spans over 109 items. Respectively, most document links are not live, but available upon request, stored on my Google Drive.

Social Market Research for Charity Inc. (SMRC): A AI-driven non-profit SaaS framework that would pay people for sharing their anonymous topic related preferences, and behavioral biometrics (sophisticated personas, an extension of psychographics), correlated against their demographic profile, producing valuable cost-effective medical research and Big Data and analytics (e.g., Business Intelligence) for marketing.

Common Themes:

• Intellectual Capital (IC): It should be noted that the DDA Intellectual Capital generated from correlating the manufacturer's engineering notes and estimates vs. actual costs, is the same capability that IBM had over their competition during the 1990's, allowing them to quickly and accurately establish new planning and costs, based on typically aggregating that IC from 10,000+ plus earlier engagement's project planning and consulting data. It was also similar to the field engineering workstations I managed development for, that was able to create custom hardware proposals in 2-3 hours (vs. the standard 2 weeks at that time). The magic there was typing those workstations to AI-based configurators, the central company's repository of engineering notes, and direct interaction with their manufacturing facility's scheduling and engineering departments - supported by the early mobile phones and my company's (at that time) world's first patent on mobile phone to PC interaction. This earliest engagement was pre-PC and before cell phones extended laptop connectivity.
• Best Practices: While growing more sophisticated since the 1980's, my professional services have been based on 'best practice'. As stated earlier, these methods establish quicker delivery, higher quality solutions, increased skills and morale of employees, higher performance systems, more accurate estimates/budgeting, industry standards, and better communications across business and responsibility groups. This Includes repeatable programming models, simple but effective testing, staged training, comprehensive estimating strategies and regular performance/configuration reviews.
