Also supported the ERP Visual FoxPro Database system, Blackberry, and RightFax solutions.
*Increased ERP system through-put by replacing antiquated hubs with 3Com switches. Users were accessing the ERP system via two Citrix XP servers.
*Performed vast research on new software and technologies such as Firewalls and Gateways to help secure our network from malicious attacks.
