Principal Consultant
Daniel Douglas is the Solution Architect and Principle Consultant at Douglas Information Systems Corporation. He focuses his efforts on getting work done for our customer’s and ensuring optimization in the process.
(Daniel is also an avid adventurer, but those stories are better served over a cup of coffee…)
Throughout his career he has focused on building relationships and ensuring that the project initiatives he is part of are providing real business value and ensuring that through KPI’s and metrics that the value is tracked and the information is reported. As a highly technical architect, experienced and proven subject matter expert, collaborator, consultant, and leader, his professional experience represents over twenty years of architecting and developing highly successful large scale “best in class” end to end solutions.
He’s also a writer focused on improving software by focusing on architecture, design patterns, and the soft skills that make architects into great architects.
Daniel’s Mission to Provide Serious Business Value
Initiated vendor selection for a national online IT e-commerce store (B2B and B2C). I was able to negotiate 40% off the monthly SaaS cost for the customer which was a savings passed on directly to them, and facilitated the contract with the distributors, enterprise portal, and other vendor’s on behalf of the client.
Created stable well performing systems. Imagine 10’s of millions of rows of complex measurement data for components and impact testing which through performance tweaking performed at lightning speeds for management reporting.
Software development product implementations have introduced savings up to $250,000 in labour costs per manufacturing site introduced to the new software as well as over a $1,00,000/yr of value added improvements on functionality per site.
