Michael Keen’s Summary

I am an Enterprise Strategist in the Enterprise Architecture group at Alliance Technologies. I am an innovative, results-oriented architect and executive with over a eleven years of experience using technology to reach business objectives and eliminate barriers to business growth. I manage and contribute to consulting engagements that require architectural services at the enterprise, business unit, or project/solutions level. These services can include the setup, facilitation, or performance-review of Enterprise Architecture programs for client organizations.

I have a unique ability to bridge the gap between business and technology—and to be a catalyst for delivering business value from IT investments. This ability is the result of my varied experience and in depth knowledge of both the business and technology domains, coupled with my passion for solving complex problems. I am a master problem-solver, and I am able to deliver positive outcomes under mission critical pressure by blending my lengthy experience with an implacable resolve to identify and address root causes that stand in the way of business success.
