Anny Randel’s Summary

In 2003 I could see the major impacts that new technologies were having and were going to have on the music industry. Ready for a change for a steady diet of corporate software management, I started Savvant Music to find a way to influence the impending revolution in the music industry in a way that would result in an industry that is more fair to artists and that enables the best music to reach people who really care.

Not wanting to completely abandon my technical roots (nor their lucrative rewards), I created a division of the company called Randel Consulting Services where I can offer technical consulting services in the areas of software engineering process improvement, software quality, software engineering management and estimation.

I also work part time at QSM Associates (qsma.com) where I do business development and technical consulting.

Anny Randel’s Specialties:

Software engineering, CMMI assessment and process improvement implementation, internet marketing, internet technologies, on-line music, live music, customer loyalty and support.
