About Bernard Deschanes

Presently serving as the technical lead on a project maintaining EHR infrastructure for a government agency. History: I ran my own small consulting company for a few years after college, working in a call-center to pay the rent. In 1998 I joined the IT staff at CHASE in Tampa and worked my way to the Architecture group. I specialized in requirements gathering, product comparison and selection, proofs of concept, and testing - particularly UAT & regression. JPMorganCHASE\'s merger with Bank One led to my being on the market. After the merger I did a few contracts in utilities, government, & higher education, worked a couple years for a small college, and then went to work inside the VA. Since then I\'ve been doing contracts for various agencies, under various employers. My specialties include (but aren\'t limited to): Automation & Manageability, Clustering, Cloud Solutions with Azure & VMware, Microsoft Virtualization, & XEN, Active Directory, iCinga, AppDynamics, IBM Cognos, Networker, eClinicalWorks EHR, CaseTrakker, MiPACS, Open Dental, CA products like SOI, VAIM, eHealth, & Spectrum, Project Management, Six Sigma, Human Factors Analysis and Design, Enterprise Architecture, RFP, Vendor Relations, Negotiation, E-Provisioning, Identity management, Disaster Recovery (Business Continuity) & Backups, Network Design, load-balancing, and Routing, Security, HelpDesk Management, MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, IIS, Tomcat, RDWeb, Weblogic, AIX, UNIX, Solaris, Linux, Microsoft Servers, Exchange, Postscript, Novell ZENWorks, Web-Services, Firewalls, SOA
