Alan Berkson

I’m just a computer problem solver living in Westchester, NY with my wife and twin girls. When not washing dishes, fixing broken Barbie dolls or getting the kids ready for school I talk to businesses about better ways to use technology.

My background spans a broad range of technology: from punched cards to flash drives, from VM on an IBM 360 to Virtualization on an IBM BladeCenter, from 300 baud acoustic coupler modems to sneakernet to broadband Internet. I’ve developed backoffice systems for Wall Street, ERP systems for the United Nations and high availability infrastructures for online trading systems. I’ve worked with Mom-and-Pop, Main Street, Start-Ups, mergers and Fortune 100 companies.

Through the years I’ve seen technology run cycles from centralized time-sharing, to de-centralized workgroup servers, to distributed applications, to cloud computing. Isn’t that just fancy time-sharing? It seems we’ve come full circle. With over 30 years of experience across a broad range of technology and vertical markets, perhaps I bring a unique perspective to IT strategy and technology management.
