Lessons Learned from the Cockpit

Weaponizing Microsoft 365 to Win the War Against Wasting Time.

In 1992, I was commissioned from the Air Force Academy with a degree in Aerospace Engineering to go to pilot training. I went on to get my Masters in Aerospace Engineering and Computer Science from Arizona State University. 

In my 20 years career as an F-16 and B-2 pilot, I marveled at the remarkable technology and systems at my disposal inside the cockpit. However, as I descended my aircraft for landing, I found my enthusiasm plummeted along with it in anticipation for the starkly different experience in the office that would follow. Lackluster technology combined with inefficient processes and systems led to an IT landscape that felt like flying into a headwind. This frustration drove me to make a change. When I wasn’t flying, I served as a Network Architect, automating warfighter processes, and producing innovative groundbreaking technology solutions. I upgraded communications capabilities and led revolutionary technical efforts for the Air Force and DoD. My supervisors realized I could be as much (if not more of) a catalyst on the ground than in the air. 

In 2012, I retired from the military and formed ACES Group, where we focus on leveraging Microsoft 365 to enhance government technology. Today, our mission is the same as mine was then, to bring your organization closer to the cockpit.

As organizations grow, content management becomes pivotal for success. Content Services is the cornerstone of Process Automation and Business Analytics, marking the starting point for operational optimization and enhanced efficiency.

Process Automation

Leveraging Technology
This is technology's core value proposition, where we focus on efficiency enhancement. Streamlining, integrating, and automating processes reduce time, errors, and labor. Automation allows for performance measurement and issue resolution.

Data Analytics

Visualizing Your Information
Leveraging data visualization accelerates informed decision-making and boosts productivity. Data-driven dashboards monitor progress, gauge performance, and pinpoint process bottlenecks. Measuring performance and analyzing results are fundamental to continuous process enhancement.

Training

Proficiency Drives Productivity 

Our unique approach embeds training directly into SharePoint and Office 365 using our ACES Tier Zero (AtoZ) Help System. Although we create our solutions to be intuitive like an app on a phone, we provide in context help using overlays right in the application.
