Smart421

I have recently left Hitachi Consulting and joined a similar Microsoft and Oracle Gold Partner consultancy company named Smart421 where I work as a Technical Architect in the Microsoft space.

Smart421 offer Consultancy, Service Management, Data Management and Business Integration and is part of a larger public company called KCOM.

KCOM were originally a large telecommunication company but now they consist of: KC, eclipse, KCOM and Smart421.

Smart421 specializes in complex enterprise integration projects but more recently full system design the implementation. We have a lot of expertise in SOA Governance and PCI DSS.

I form part of the Microsoft practice but we also have a fairly large Java practice with particular focus on IBM WebSphere, DataPower and many other IBM tools/technologies. Smart421 prides itself in Enterprise Architecture as we are active members of the Open Group and have many TOGAF practitioners.

So far I'm liking it a lot as I get to be involved in lot of different things and hope soon to be a certified TOGAF practitioner.
