In the 21st century, this more often than not means some sort of web presence. In my case, for the time being, this blog is it. I am officially open for business. But what kind of business?<\/p>\n<p>I am an independent IT professional with over 17 years experience, author and trainer. My primary area of focus is Microsoft Windows-based networks and server technologies, with a special emphasis on scripting, automation and Windows PowerShell.&#160; Here\u2019s a short service menu:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>White papers <\/li>\n<li>Magazine features and columns <\/li>\n<li>Guest Blogging <\/li>\n<li>Podcasting <\/li>\n<li>Webcasts and online seminars <\/li>\n<li>Private training ( I am an MCT and can deliver most Windows infrastructure based curricula) both online and onsite <\/li>\n<li>Courseware or training material development <\/li>\n<li>Public Speaking and Conferences <\/li>\n<li>Custom scripting and automation <\/li>\n<li>IT consulting <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your organization could use any of my services or believe I can add value to your company, I hope you\u2019ll contact me: <a title=\"Send me an email\" href=\"mailto:jhicks@jdhitsolutions.com\">jhicks@jdhitsolutions.com<\/a>.

Depending on my current work-load, I am happy to help out on a reduced-rate or even free basis.
