2019 – 2020
Two concurrent cloud migration projects delivered cleanly as DAS consolidated offices and moved its entire IT estate off-premise — joined mid-programme and added value from day one.
As part of DAS UK's move to consolidate two Bristol offices into one, all on-premise IT infrastructure was migrated to the cloud across two distinct projects. The first involved migrating their VM estate to VMware VPC on AWS, working with internal DC teams, architects and the VMware project team. The second migrated an on-premise iSeries solution to third-party data centres, incorporating a move from NetApps to Dell EMC with DRaaS.
Two concurrent projects, April–September 2021. On-premise to cloud migration covering DAS UK's entire infrastructure estate across two Bristol sites.
Internal DC team and architects, VMware project team, Dell EMC, DRaaS provider. Joined mid-project; quickly embedded across all workstreams and stakeholder groups.
“Max joined the DAS IT Transformation Programme and immediately picked up the reigns of a project that had already begun. Despite not being here for project initiation, I was amazed at how quickly he got under the skin of the project, the personalities and the complexities in dealing with multiple external and internal stakeholders. It's not an understatement to conclude that Max added value right from the word go, and continued doing so until his last day. As well as delivering for the Programme, Max helped me to grow in my own role as Programme Manager by sharing some nuggets from his own previous experience; I valued this hugely and I've definitely got better at my own job thanks to him! My lasting impression of Max is, above all, his professionalism, pragmatism and positivity; if you need top notch project management for any complex technology change, Max is your man, and I look forward to the time when we can work together again.”
