Tom Davis

President & CEO

As President and CEO of DotPartners, I feel obligated to tell you that I am a pretty normal and humble guy. Please understand that by writing this bio it works against my humility, but I will do the best I can. So, here goes.

I am a hybrid, being half business and half tech. I've always been somewhat of a MacGyver and I work in the trenches alongside my colleagues. Every day I come to work with one goal in mind. That goal is to make DotPartners as valuable as I possibly can. How do I do this, you may ask? First, you have to realize that you cannot do it all and you are not the smartest person. I realized this long ago and the result is my phenomenal and brilliant team. Second, you have to believe in yourself and your team. This will help with all the risks you have to take. Sacrifices must also be made, especially financial ones. I consider it a huge win for DP that our company is considerably in the black and growing at a rapid rate. Being honest, loyal, dedicated, and hard working also go along ways. As a result, we have a pretty impressive client list for only 3 years of existence. I also place a lot of weight and value our client and candidate relationships. A quick phrase I have to sum up the importance of relationships is, "People over Profit". Entire enterprise systems are built to help manage these relationships, so they must be important right? Last, in this rough economy, I quickly realized that in order to succeed you have to provide something that other's cannot. That is why our service and our rates are so good. We believe in providing a high quality service for a highly competitive rate. A quick phrase I have to describe this ideology is "Growth over Greed." Bottom line, it works.

Coming up through the ranks in IT, I chose the technical route over management. After several levels of programmer and architect, I then had to make the shift to the business side to start DP. My degree in Management Information Systems helped with this. It was at that time I realized the importance and all the money I spent on my college degree! Having a strong technical side, some of the projects in which I played a key role may be of interest to you. Here is a list:

• Created my own proprietary Desktop Application Framework
• Web-based software to plan, create, manage, and maintain military networks
• Largest and most advanced electronic real-estate platform for appraisers, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and home inspectors
• Enterprise Point of Sale System
• Enterprise system to support billion dollar energy/fuel transport company
• Highly-interactive public-facing SharePoint-hosted site branded for retail auto sales
• Enterprise/Middleware to enable communications between ERP and Truck Messaging System
• Highly-interactive public-facing hotel lobby information appliance
• Numerous Enterprise SharePoint and BizTalk implementations
• Enterprise Human Resources application with associated workflow

From the business side there are a couple of things to note. One being that I was a normal, everyday programmer/architect that created a staffing/consulting company out of thin air. In addition, I recruited and befriended an extraordinary team. I really cannot tell you enough about the team that stands behind me. On a personal level, I enjoy golf, video games, Music / DJ Remix, Football, and Basketball. And last, the two most important things in my life are my family and my faith. Both provide the foundation for my continued success, happiness, and prosperity.

Tommy Glenn

Vice President, IT Consulting/Staff Augmentation

Having been on both sides of the ball when it comes to Staff Augmentation and True Consulting, I have learned a few vital lessons that DotPartners tries to transfer in our day-to-day efforts. Having seen “examples” of both, regarding our potential clients, I’ve found that companies want to be truly consulted with on whatever makes business sense for them by technical, hands-on subject matter experts, who are “in the trenches”, doing this on a daily basis. This is where our DP Core Team comes into play. Whether it is a farmed out solution, a position to be permanently filled, or perhaps providing temporary help, companies can rest assured that their requirements and needs are getting technically screened by our core team of consultants, not just “word matched” by recruiters.

Regarding candidates, you can count on 3 things: 1) We will try to find you the opportunity you WANT while 2) NOT hitting you up for leads 3) And we will NOT waste your time. If it makes business sense for us to meet about an opportunity, we will. But we will not endlessly post “ghost” or “shell” job postings, simply in an effort to strip people of leads or to hit our call / candidate “numbers” or “quota”. We’ve seen it. We can’t stand it.

Now, curious as what are our areas of expertise? Here you go:

• .NET
• C#
• C++
• and more

Tyler Noland

Director of Operations, Sr Network Engineer/Sr SharePoint Engineer

As a former US Army Soldier and Consultant I have seen both ends of the spectrum in IT Shops. I have seen the type of shop that takes weeks or even months to get a project accomplished because it is being over projected managed. I have also seen the shop that "just wants it done" for the least amount of money and time and does not really know the solution they need. Having lived through these experiences I have found one thing that I always want to bring to the table, and that is giving the client the right solution to fit their needs. So many times will you see companies buy hardware or software to solve a problem, but end up using less then 50% of what it is capable of doing. That's why we here at DotPartners are different then our competitors, we truly listen to what our clients are requesting from us and deliver the right solution to fit their needs.

Wonder what type of solutions we can provide? Here is some of the products we can help you with:

Carl Seyer

Director of IT, Sr. Software Architect/Developer

Having been a professional software developer and architect for the last 15 years, I appreciate the promise good software design offers as well as the power it provides. As a practicing consultant for 8 years of that time, I also understand that the wishes of the client are often not born out of want but of need. I want my clients to not only be capable with the software I produce, but competitive. That is why it is important that the software my team and I produce are of the highest quality, with a sound design capable of meeting existing needs while still being flexible enough to offer the client added value in the future. I use modern-day tactics with contemporary strategies to tackle all challenges. I have written software of some sort or another since I was 9 years old and have found a solution to every challenge. I look forward to solving your challenges.

Some of my latest projects include:

• Derivatives-trading integration system for high-performance reporting and real-time trends analysis
• Biomedical application for monitoring/ reporting on generation-based gene-synthesis and cancellation processes

Tad Burgess

Director of Finance and Accounting, Finance and Accounting Staff Augmentation

Being a former CEO of an online marketing company, I quickly learned how vital it is to find good people WITHOUT monopolizing the time of my own internal resources. But finding people that are good matches with the skill set needed AND will also fit well with the companies culture can be quite a task. As an employer, being able to make a call and knowing that the call will result in a few select, qualified candidates that have been screened by industry professionals with applicable experience is invaluable. Plus it definitely frees up of time to pursue other business opportunities, take care of current clients, etc. As the employer, all I have to do is block out a couple of hours to review a few candidates. Having said that, coming from a sales background I know how easy it is to sell something that you believe in. I have personally seen DotPartners in action, under pressure, and accomplishing what some said to be impossible. It is because I witnessed this firsthand, I have 100% confidence that we have the team in place to insure we find you the right people to make your company a success.

Running a company isn’t easy that is why I am dedicated to providing you with a second option when looking for individuals with the following skill set:
