Harley Stagner’s Summary
I love all things technology related. However, recently I have also become very interested in the business side of Information Technology. I believe that Information Technology professionals can create positive organizational change through conversations and collaboration with key stakeholders in the company. It is time for IT departments to start communicating more effectively in order to bring true business value to the organization. We should no longer just provide technology services. Business units and IT departments can work together to bring innovative new processes to the organization through the use of new technology and "new thought processes." I hope to become a catalyst in starting these conversations in order to make a positive cultural impact on organizations.
I am also a freelance technology writer. Writing is something that I am also passionate about. Bringing two interests (writing and technology) has been a dream come true for me. I started freelancing by becoming the technical editor for a book called "Virtualization: From Desktop to the Enterprise" and I haven't stopped writing since. I have several articles published for SearchSystemsChannel.com, SearchEnterpriseLinux.com, SearchServerVirtualization.com, and SearchStorage.com. I also have an "Ask the Experts" column about virtualization technology at SearchSystemsChannel.com. I maintain a blog where I write about various topics that interest me at http://www.harleystagner.com.
