Information technology background and particularly experience with implementation of large software packages (JDEdwards ERP software) including training, modifications and implementation provide an excellent match for internal support of mission-critical systems. The fixed income that comes with retirement is beginning to be a bit restricting. My background . The attached resume highlights some of the expertise with technology, software and training which would be invaluable in the position,indicates a good match and the strong possibility of a quickly assimilated successful addition to the department. Project management successes give evidence of an ability to communicate and coordinate. The implementation of JDEdwards software at Frigidaire Home Products was both on-time and under budget showcasing skills that translate profitably to the type of environment described.

Please do not hesitate to be in contact for any further information. Thank you for your time and consideration.
