Managed consultants, business development and strategy for a new consulting company targeting cable specific telecom companies. The primary focus of my practice is the IP and Data Services side of the clients business. This includes managing technical strategy for a multi-million dollar Identity and Access Management deployment, evaluating vendors and strategy for new SOA architecture, and providing market and strategy direction to the business sponsor’s Federated Identity project.

Refactored Networks helps companies understand the developing EPC Network standards and how they can be used to radically change the way a company does business. By allowing for frictionless supply chains that can easily extend forward to include the customer and backward to include all suppliers, the EPC Network enables a degree of disintermediation that can be used to significantly disrupt a given market or industry.

Refactored Networks also provides Open Source software tools and proprietary platforms that specifically target the SOHO and micro-enterprise market that have typically been unable to participate in the larger supply chain management universe.
