Consulting, Training & Documentation

The best website clients are those that are 'in the know'. I have found that the best websites come from a complete collaboration between myself and the client. This can only be done when the client understands Joomla! The client doesn't need to be an 'expert', but by knowing the 'ins and outs of joomla', they will ask the right questions, and really take their website where it needs to go.

Data Analysis

Learning Sybase in the 1990's, I began early with learning the concepts of efficient storing of data in a financial management system. Since then I have converted databases from multiple field spreadsheets, from access in Oracle and SQL databases.

For the past 10 years I have assisted companies with analyzing their data in order to fix data integrity issues. In addition based on various business rules, determine if computer programs create the data appropriately.

Many companies still have important data stored in either MS Word or in MS Excel worksheets, which can be fine in order to manipulate the data, but it limits what you can really analyze. I can assist you in converting this data into a database format so it can be reported on and analyzed more efficiently.

Experience

I can create documentation and training materials for any type of application, as this has been my background since 1989. Since 1989 I have been training, testing and documenting many different types of applications

JoomlaTraining.com

I am proud to have been selected by JoomlaTraining.com to be one of their NYC instructors. Visit the joomlatraining.com website to see class dates and times. They offer many different types of classes, and I am happy to be on their team.

Joomla!® Training

Each one of my clients receives training sessions via skype / phone on how to use their Joomla!® systems. I feel very strongly that my clients must understand how to maintain their Joomla!® site in order to be happy with it. Joomla!® is an exciting content management system to use, but it can be complex...with patience even the least experienced business owner can run their site with confidence.
