Three-Page Resume: Michael R Royce (603) 224-3805 (Cell & Text) 77 Auburn Street www.RoyceFamily.com Concord, NH 03301-3047 MRR@RoyceFamily.com ______________________________________________________________________ “Best Ideas That Work” (Proven Track Record of Completed Projects) > Offers many years experience > Development of productive applications such as: accounting administration capacity planning data conversion financial insurance networks payroll personnel scheduling utility billing web design > Installation of hardware and software > Database, Web design & maintenance > Training ______________________________________________________________________ I am open to interesting projects to solve problems I make computer systems run great - Tell me about your problems ______________________________________________________________________ I offer a distinctive blend of vision, creative problem solving & computer skills with a collaborative style of leadership that gets quick results that everyone can use. Try to envision how a few of my project solutions would help your organization: Example (1): The position I liked best & most responsible: With only 3 years of computer development experience (and NO Unisys experience – this would be unheard of in the consulting business of today – too bad because clients lose a lot of good people), the best position I have had with my career was 10 years as IT Director / Systems Analyst / Programmer for the Concord School District. I liked that position best because I created the Unisys mainframe computer system 6-months after CSD purchased their computer. I added applications (payroll, budgets, account receivable / payable, personnel, student records / scheduling, health records, food services, attendance, report cards, guidance analysis, utility usage (electricity, fuel oil & gas), etc.) most purchased from Unisys and extensively altered or custom built to meet the ever-changing user needs. Two weeks after I started with Concord, I asked the hiring manager, “Why was I hired with NO Unisys experience ?”.  He said, “You can think !!!” (good answer). I designed & installed equipment to network the computer system that tied all 12 schools together with the business office. This was my most productive work environment because I was free to do everything that was necessary to solve computer-related problems. The only reason I am not with Concord today is because of budget cuts. It seems I did this so well that Unisys technical staff, from throughout New England, visited the school district’s data center to understand what I was doing that was so much better. (One team manager told me that nobody was utilizing computer resources and producing results like I was. At the time, I didn’t think much about this comment but over the years I have learned he was correct – not very many computer systems work well – most IT departments & software vendors are not responsive to user needs). Example (2): Most challenging project completed: I rewrote the Unisys financial package that did not work at all. This is a very long story but the net result is that the school district had a full functional financial system and Unisys paid the school district $10,000 for my batch program changes that they could not fix themselves. Unisys did not want my new on-line program (workhorse of the system - theirs didn’t work at all) because they thought it was too complicated. My on-line program was 50% smaller and accomplished more. Over time, I rebuilt the payroll & financial systems, taking the best features of each totally unrelated application and making them work seamlessly together. Example (3): Very good working with clients: At the Bank of Boston, the payroll systems manager told me I was the only consultant that gave him what he wanted. (Again, I provide service, I get things done correctly) Example (4): Flexible creative computer projects: The past few years, I have donated consulting days to our Public TV Auction, Channel 11, Durham, NH (1 day per auction day – 87 consulting days in 9 years). These consulting days are very diverse – that is, I need to be very creative instantly. Again, plain and simply, I get things done. With my extensive experience, I have many supporting stories. Just ask, chances are I have already solved your typical kinds of problems elsewhere. __________________________________________________________________ TECHNICAL PROFILE: __________________________________________________________________ HARDWARE: PCs, PC Laptops, iPads & iPhones PS/2 – Mainframes: IBM 1401, 370, 3090, 9021/982, 9672, Unisys B1865, B1990, Honeywell 2040A.
