Having received formal education in business administration helps form a more complete understanding of the business process and its needs. After years of gaining business experience in varying capacities and industries, the decision was made to focus entirely on the technological systems that businesses need. Since then interest in computers and systems grew by involvement in, or supervision of, the deployment of systems as they occurred in nearly every business association. More recently received formal training directly from, or certified by, several of the industry giants. The most notable are Microsoft, Novell, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, IBM, and Oracle.
