Paul Sandham’s Summary
Convergent & participative technologies strategist & Technical Programme Manager.
I have been involved in some of the murkier and less glamorous facets of the internet since 1994. From Application formulation, design, implementation and delivery through to setting up and running global 24/7 support operations. I have proposed and managed successful and viable organisational data quality/business intelligence projects in conjunction with KTP, and have been instrumental in setting up, testing and managing the accreditation of new on-line and real world card based payment systems and methods.
I have as a result of the above set up and directed a number of development teams over the last decade. I have in addition successfully project managed a number of large building & organisational move projects. I have prepared and delivered presentations in the US and the UK on designing and developing Internet based applications, Participative technologies, Data quality & Information, & Business Continuity.
Paul Sandham’s Specialties:
