Key Initiatives and Accomplishments
Reduced duplication in Knoxville area IT by focusing on increasing credibility of central IT and forming a statewide IT governance process that
ensured business units had control over the direction of central IT.
o Realized a 13% cost reduction while significantly improving the view of IT services (average score of 4.5 out of 5 on a survey of over 3,000
Knoxville-area faculty and staff).
o Resulted in the University Institute of Agriculture requesting integration of their IT services into the Knoxville area IT service, thereby saving
the Institute of Agriculture 30% on their annual IT costs.
Actively advocated and led technology projects around the state of Tennessee including:
o Co-authoring the proposal for and named key personnel of the NSF Supercomputer project that resulted in the University of Tennessees
Kraken supercomputer. This supercomputer became the worlds fastest academic supercomputer and third most powerful worldwide.
o Providing project leadership for the Memphis Research Network to connect the city of Memphis to the NSF fiber network and Internet2.
o Actively working with Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce and Electronic Power Board to leverage $111 million in stimulus funding to
deliver fiber to all residences in Chattanooga and encourage high-tech startups.
o Partnering with the Tennessee Valley Authority and Oak Ridge Na onal Laboratory to create a statewide dark ber network and nego a ng
peering arrangements to Atlanta and Chicago.
o Serving as Principal Investigator for the State of Tennessee Rural Broadband proposal.
Created a university-wide information classification and security policy based on national standards and lead the implementation of this policy
across distributed campuses while simultaneously completing multiple projects that eliminated or mitigated the use of sensitive information such as
Social Security numbers.
Partnered with UT Human Resources to overhaul performance management in the Knoxville area IT organization by employing a model that uses
quarterly performance evaluation and feedback for all staff, resulting in human resource support for a new competency-based career ladder for IT
professionals.
Aggressively retired dated technology in favor of appliances, virtualization, and next generation technology that require less hands-on
maintenance by IT staff (spam engines, mainframe retirement, lab desktops, storage and server virtualization with blade technology, and desktop
video conferencing support).
Successfully transitioned all campuses from a legacy student information system to a statewide standard Banner student information system.
Designed and delivered a new statewide ID system that enabled the removal of Social Security numbers and provided the foundation for UT
campuses to begin to share information systems and resources.
