Jacob Saaby Nielsen (jacob.saaby@hotmail.com)’s Summary

I've been doing everything from normal day to day IT operations, to designing procedures/workflows, creating strategies, to making visions come true.

My main focus at the moment is messaging and collaboration. Social business platforms are of great interest to me, although I've only had the chance to really try out a couple so far. I'm convinced the future of efficient businesses is built around social platforms, and that's the way to go.

Of other interest is mobility and especially the use of smartphones to support the everyday lives of professionals. And, automation. Especially through Powershell.

I have a very good ability to spot areas that can be optimized by implementing better workflows, to gain more from the energy spent. I also have a good ability to produce practical solutions from ideas and visions, to create a far more effective daily business for both customers, workplace and colleagues.

My experience is primarily based in the Windows world, very little Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) experience, and I'm running OS X on my iMac - so I'm somewhat experienced in that area.
