In September of 1998 Arthur Andersen had began
building a team to complete the RFP they had won for 7 deliverables
concerning the Integrated Communication Infrastructure for the School Board of
Broward County. The 1.2 million dollar project was headed by AA partner Rodney
Smith. They contracted me when I was the Director of IT at Quest
Technologies to complete the LAN, WAN, Telecom, Application Structure, Document
management, and Unified messaging portion of the paper. ATS&R was hired for
building infrastructure and cabling. Arthur Andersen staff managed the progress
and hired technical writers to cleanup our research and documentation. This
project ended with hundreds of pages of technical specifications and standards
for the next decade of technology for the fifth largest school district in the
United States. I will attach an example of the work created in this project
because it was built for a government agency anyone has access to it. Also below
is the schedule for the 7 deliverables and the staff names and companies
involved in the project. I have the entire project if you would like it, but it
is quite large.
