About Alan
I have a lot of experience in both development program management roles and providing consulting services to clients around the world. Many of my clients include major financial institutions as well as local, state and national government agencies – all of which have serious security concerns, beginning with security of the application development environments, and running all of the way out to securely deploying and maintaining their core business applications. Many of these organization already had what they thought were robust, secure applications, but with the advent of the internet and cloud computing, life changed. Part of my job has been to help them work through both the technology, the ease of use, and the security issues involved in modernizing their environments, while becoming more accessible to their customers and constituents.
I have held the positions of Marketing Program Manager and also Engineering Program Manager for leading edge, model driven application development products.
As an expert in Enterprise Application Environment (EAE) and Agile Business Suite (AB Suite) I have worked with clients and consultants worldwide. I have also worked as an architect and development leader on the ClearPath Forward platform.
Since the formation of Hood Software Solutions I have published white papers, given technical and management presentations at industry conferences, and consulted with EAE and AB Suite clients about updating and modernizing their core applications and user experience.
I have always been able to work well with business people and “techies”. One of the things I am best at is defining technology solutions for business problems, and translating complex technology and ideas into easy-to-understand concepts for business benefit – to become the bridge between the technical development teams and less technical users and management stakeholders. I am able to work with programmers, designers, end-users, architects, and C-level executives.
