As an MSP Leadership Group Provider, we believe that everyone needs guidance to stay on top of technology changes. There are a few leadership groups that focus in on improving sales, taking accountability, and better financial management, but there is not a specific group that provides the best practices in the ever-changing technology landscape.     Most VAR’s, MSP’s, or Solution Service companies are busy working on fixing the current issue or working on the next problem with their staff. That leaves little time for your technicians to stay up with the new technology trends and trades.    With over 10,000 new IP based devices entering the market every month how can you keep up to speed on what should be implemented, or reviewed? Let Envision’ s Technology Leadership Group be your IT Technology advisor. We like to put it, - There are a Few Technology Leaders - Make it You ™   Technology Leadership Groups (TLG’s) have 3 factors to setup your company for success.

This included the Executive Protection team at Vulcan along with the Executive Support team. While I was working with these teams I was asked to take over the responsibility of managing four separate groups including Yachts Technology, Site Operations, Media Operations, and the Acquisition/Refresh Team in 2010. All of these teams had a core emphasis on owner support and it was best to have one large group consolidate into one service organization. With this consolidation I was able to reduce staff 20% and reduce the budget by 2 million. This was all done while improving customer support and expanding each group's responsibilities.• In 2011 after a successful track record of improvement I was approached to take over management of a diverse global intelligence/security team.
