Perspectives
When it comes to applying technology to improve business practices, Roger Bakos is a pragmatic, results-oriented innovator. He views technology from a business perspective, to generate the most efficient and effective solutions to further his clients' business objectives.
Roger meets and exceeds his clients' expectations by identifying obstacles that prevent them from benefiting fully from their technology investments.
"All of HP s clients have outstanding technical staffs, but too often their transformation projects get bogged down by 'transition challenges' - which often stem from a lack of governance or ITSM-related operational processes and these projects are never completed. As a result, most of the anticipated financial and technical transformation related benefits are never realized."
Aerospace
Roger has transformation experience working with the aerospace and defense industries. He is adept at defining and driving transformation programs by galvanizing support across clients' IT organizations and business units, allowing him to effectively apply the wealth of IT transformation experience at HP to the client's business objectives. He has also established client partnerships to develop new revenue streams, by combining clients' intellectual property with HP services and products.
Data Center Consolidation
Roger helps his clients achieve much lower total cost of ownership by guiding them through transformation challenges. Although data center consolidation is a prominent topic in every industry, most companies lack the governance structures needed to capture the full benefits. Roger has the experience to help clients realize the savings that they expected at project inception.
