About Reid Jackson

I have always been passionate about how technology can help us improve the world we live in. We live in very exciting times. The internet created a new Technology Revolution. Mobile phones accelerated us into another technology revolution. Just ask yourself - when was the last time you opened up a paper map? Now we are on the cusp of the new Data Revolution driven by 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IOT, Quantum Computing, Smart Dust and more. New systems, approaches, techniques, and technologies are going to be needed to address the Tsunami of data that is coming our way.However, I have also lived through using technology for technology sake. Just because it is new does not mean that is better. Just because you don\'t understand it, does not mean that it won\'t work for you. This is what I love most from the industry that I work in - we are constantly evolving and learning new ways to improve our situations. With learning comes failures, but it is these failures that teach us the most along the way. We learn not to implement new technology for technology sake. We learn to ask more questions, leverage more of what we have and add the right technology at the right time and place.I have been very fortunate to work for some great companies in a variety of different roles. It is these experiences, with both success and failures that has enabled me to better help my customers achieve the business outcomes they require.
