Welcome to my space on the Web

As of 23rd June 2008 I started working for the Western Australian branch of Datacom as a Senior Solution Architect, specialising in "Virtualization". It's a big culture change from IBM, and I was initially very nervous, but after two weeks I felt like I was part of the furniture and that I'd been there forever. The work environment is awesome, and the business has so much agility and flexibility. The Dirtector's have a "can do" attitude, and guess what??? The management structure is flat. Yeeha!

Up until my move to Datacom I had been working for IBM Australia since October 2001 as a Senior Technical Specialist for Global Technology Services, located in Perth, Western Australia. For those that are not aware, Global Technology Services is IBM's Service Delivery arm.

Actually, I started off working for Logical in October 2001, which became Logicalis in 2003. The ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) arm was bought by IBM Australia in 2004, and then rebranded as Cerulean. Cerulean is a division of IBM Global Technology Services. It's just a lot less confusing to tell people that I was working for IBM since October 2001. I hadn't changed jobs. The company had just morphed over the years.

Prior to working for Logical, I worked for Alphawest for 3 years, also located in Perth, Western Australia. All in all, I have been in the IT industry for over 23 years now.

My skills and experience range across the Windows Server platform, and include the design and deployment of Active Directory, Exchange, ISA Server and varying other Microsoft products. However, my passion lies with the Citrix range of products, Cisco IP Telephony, the evolving world of "Presence" and Virtualisation technologies.

I still remain focused to complete the Open Group IT Architect certification, but since leaving IBM it will become harder to find the support and resources needed. I still plan for further professional development, such as Business Writing and Train The Trainer skills. And of course, the need to continually maintain and update my current IT certifications.

Further details about my skills and career can be found on my CV.

This web site is a work in progress, and currently more about my space on the Web rather than a consulting business, as the name may suggest. I am simply trying to capture and document all the cool stuff I learn and do that I believe others will benefit from, so I will post all articles and white papers here as time permits, and will try to get into a regular routine for blogging.

Why J House Consulting? Well, it's just part of the whole "J House" experience, consisting of my wife Joanne, and children Jayke (9), Juleah (7) and Jaxon (2).

Please feel free to contact me anytime. My contact details are under the Contact Us link.

Thank you for visiting.

Jeremy.
