[ Project Management ]

 

BENTLEY LEATHERS

Managed the data cable installation of Bentley’s new Corporate Head Office, a nationwide retailer.  Since the new facility was completely renovated, there were many different projects that had to be done at the same time (i.e.; electrical, carpentry, plumbing, etc.).  It was important to coordinate with various construction project managers to ensure that delivery was prompt and tasks were carried out with minimum amount of overlapping scheduling and obstruction between each contractor.

 

BOLTON TREMBLAY INC. 

Managed and coordinated the move of the IS systems of Bolton Tremblay Inc., a $2.5 billion asset management firm.  This project had to be done in a very small time frame and network connectivity had to be established with absolutely no downtime.  Especially, connections to the various financial services the traders required (i.e.; Reuters, Bloomberg, etc.).  Again, it was imperative that proper communication was established between us and the other contractors involved to ensure a smooth transition.  Delivery times and deadlines had to be coordinated to coincide with the different tasks involved.
