Shawn Smith’s Summary

My primary passion is to design innovative, cost saving solutions for large business customers. 10+ years of IT experience and more then 6 years of Enterprise Architecture experience allow me to find creative business solutions in the most challenging situations. Furthermore, I understand business drives technology and I strive to understand the business need. Through collaboration and negotiation I drill into the requirements to develop or purchase the right mix of technology at an appropriate cost to serve. I have a demonstrated ability to integrate complex systems to deliver value for the customer or client and the ability to present to all levels of management a clear solution with positive ROI.
