Innovo Consulting LtdGoogle Workspace Specialist & Project Manager
Apr. 2012Chatham, England, United KingdomSince 2012, I have helped organisations of all sizes with their digital transformation programs. Specialising in Google Workspace and Technical Project Management, my contribution has improved productivity, collaboration and security position. I've also been involved in programmes that have improved the reputations of IT teams within organisations, from unknown ticket closers to driving change and innovation within the organisation. Many of my more recent projects have involved migrating users and data as part of large organisational divestment and TSA programmes.
Migrations completed have included:
- On-premise to Google Workspace
- Google Workspace to Microsoft 365
- Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace
- Google to Google as part of organisational divestment and TSA programmes
- On-premise to Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) I've loved working in IT since 1995, starting with hardware support and working through architecting and building cool cloud solutions. I have now found my sweet spot that sits in between the technical wizards and the business decision makers and end users, to be the spark that gets all these elements working in the same direction toward the same goal.
