Rob Stokes, PMP’s Summary

I am an experienced IT Project Consultant specializing in data recovery, data security, data backup and secure document management solutions.

I have developed a series of software robots called "Auto-BOTS" which allows my clients to eliminate much of the administrivia associated with document management.

In particular, my team and I developed a specialized robot called the AutoSAFE® which automatically moves secondary data to a hard drive; validates the data's usability, verifies the data is free of viruses, creates a document management retrieval index, and burns the data onto a long-life optical retrieval storage disk for the purpose of regulatory compliance.

I have a broad technical knowledge combined with outstanding leadership ability and creative problem solving skills in both strategic and tactical areas.

I have experience and am comfortable working with:
• Growth and Fortune 500 companies
• Start-up/restructure/process improvement/outsourcing
• All systems/software engineering lifecycle phases
• Multiple technology domains (mainframe, midrange, desktop)

Because of my expertise in secure document management solutions, I am interested in speaking at your meetings or conferences. Please feel free to contact me if you need someone to present this topic to your group.

I look forward to joining your network, and introducing you to mine.
