Šarūnas Končius
I have spent more than 20 years in IT and still see a lot of interesting things here. I am familiar with various Microsoft advanced technologies starting with Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server. Because of that I was first Microsoft Certified Trainer in Lithuania and now I am working for Microsoft already almost 10 years as technology expert and solution specialist. If you are curious how different Microsoft technologies can work together, I can show you and explain how it works. I am the guy, who can bring server and 10 laptops to your meeting room in order to share hands-on experience or I can show a cloud computing stuff from my tablet screen. During the demo your users will say “Wow” and you will say “Easy”. However I also have IT Service Manager skills and then I can tell you that it will be not so easy to deploy all the stuff correctly in your infrastructure and what additionally you need to do in order to hear “Wow” from your users in the production environment.
