As Programme Director, Tony is responsible for driving coverage in the areas of Systems Infrastructure and Management, IT Service Management, Outsourcing, and emerging hosting models such as Software as a Service and Cloud Computing. Beyond technology, Tony also considers the role of financial models in relation to IT investment.

One of the areas that interests Tony is how developments in infrastructure and communications technologies allow more innovative and effective ways of delivering services to the business. His in depth knowledge of mainframe, server and storage technology and their operational management puts him in an ideal position to drive through theory to real world practicalities.

Before this, he gained extensive experience in the vendor arena working for companies such as Amdahl, and also has a strong IT practitioner background with companies like BP and BT.
