About scavali

Almost 30 years of Information Technology experience, including 15 with Microsoft Services and Sales to some of the largest and smallest companies in the world, give me some unique perspective on the technology industry as a whole. After spending some time as the Unified Communications Practice Manager for Janalent (2 time UC Worldwide Partner of the Year in 2009 and 2010) and a Solutions Principal with EMC, I am now the Director for VMware Professional Services EUC Pre-sales Architects. Combine that with my passion for photography, scuba diving, all things Key West, my time volunteering with the Madison, NJ Fire Department and my new home in the area of San Diego, CA, you will find an eccletic combination of thoughts and experiences conveyed on this blog. Please contribute, I value people's productive feedback.
