About Donald McGraw

I believe in the implementation of practical technologies/systems that provide real business value. It is important for companies to function efficiently and fully leverage the technology solutions they own. I believe that IT should be value-adding business partner, not just a cost center. Surrounding yourself with talented, interesting people makes all the difference when creating the best business culture possible. An organization\'s most important asset is its people.and the quality of its people is a direct reflection on the culture. Every day I focus on applying these philosophies to help drive my businesses forward. When I\'m not working, I love to ski and be in the outdoors with my wife and dog Arthur. I also have a passion for team sports-including soccer, which I still (attempt) to play as well as football and F1.
