John Perry’s Summary

Early in his professional career, John Perry attended New York University (NYU), while writing responses to RFPs for a Manhattan-based value-added reseller. This experience exposed Perry to the issues of system design specs and integration resolution. The company was able to win many of the bids Perry authored, after which Perry was moved into the actual design and deployment of those solutions. This success left him hungry for more challenges.

And who better to fill this role than Court Services, a law firm aiming to turn its downtown office space into a hoteling solution for attorneys all over New York. Six months after Perry joined the firm as manager of IS, he had built out the floor with unified billing of phone, copier, and internet usage--all available at the drop of a credit card.

Seeking another challenge, Perry soon found himself at ASME International. The organization was planning to move the development of its codes and standards online. Perry created a Volunteer Contact Center that allowed ASME members to collaborate over the web to develop new codes and standards.

Having completed this challenge, Perry found Cunningham Graphics, a small organization that focused on back-office printing for Investment Banks. With his team, he developed ClientNet, a web service interface between the banks and Cunningham’s production facility. Shortly thereafter, Cunningham Graphics was purchased by ADP, who continued to grow the product line under Perry’s direction, before spinning off the entire Brokerage Service Group.

Today Perry works for NACE International. True to his challenge-embracing nature, Perry kicked off his employment with the task of migrating the organization’s fractured information systems into a single source, using MS CRM. He finished the job on time and under budget. At the time of this writing, Perry’s CRM had consolidated seven variant data systems into a single CRM system, integrating directly with MSCRM and Great Plains.
