We all know one of these people. They are the ones, who always greet you with a smile, a firm handshake, and an embrace. Their good nature and sense of humor are contagious. It is in their DNA to connect with others in a friendly, disarming manner. This is the epitome of Shawn Scanlon (https://www.linkedin.com/in/esperp/). Shawn is a 1998 graduate of Michigan State University, with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Engineering and one of the principle founders of Global Systems Integrations, Inc. (www.getgsi.com) AKA GSI. GSI, under the three principle owners, is rightfully ranked as one of the top consulting and managed services firms within their core competencies.

In my previous post, I mentioned that the ongoing theme for these articles is about, “successful enterprise solutions”. I thought it would be a good idea to describe the intent of this phrase. As with the word “success”, the phrase “enterprise solutions” can have a variety of meanings. For the foreseeable future, I will be using, “successful enterprise solutions” as any solution (human, mechanical, technological, or otherwise) which can be implemented in an enterprise (private, public, government, or even volunteer run) to further the success of that enterprise and the people who thrive in their workplace.

So, where do I start? I could start from the beginning, but which beginning? Let's begin with today. Each day has an opportunity for new beginnings. Many of us are told this many times in our lives. Today, I want to begin blogging through a series of thoughts about "success". The word "success" covers a broad spectrum of thoughts, categories, ideas, and perceptions. I cannot hope to cover all of the areas of "success" in a life-time. I can seek to uncover some areas where we can all be involved in successful enterprise solutions.

Equifax and other high profile security breaches have increased the visibility of cybersecurity threats and brought more attention to data privacy. The job market is already very near what economists call full employment. With the average tenure of a millennial employee equaling 18 months, recruiting and retaining talent is imperative to productivity.
