An Inside Look into the Lives of Huntzinger Consultants

Role
I’m Huntzinger’s Senior Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) Specialist. My role is to coordinate our company’s efforts relative to ERP advisory, audit, assessment, and implementation services.

Time in IT
I have more than 20 years of IT experience, 12 of which have been in senior management roles. While I have broad experience in IT, for the past seven years I have focused almost exclusively on ERP system assessments, selections, and implementations, with emphasis on financials, human capital management, supply chain management and business intelligence functionality.

Role
I’m a Senior Management Consultant.

Time at Huntzinger
I started with Huntzinger as a contractor in 2015. I became a Huntzinger employee in October 2016.

Time in Healthcare IT
I’ve been in healthcare for 30-plus years. I have an accounting background, so I started as a controller at a hospital that was part of the State of Arkansas Health and Human Services (HHS). At the time, it took us two to three weeks to close our monthly books using the financial system that they had. I wrote specs for the IT people and programmers to modify the financial system so that we could close the books in a fraction of that time. Once we put it into production, it fixed some issues with the accounting system for Arkansas HHS throughout the state. The person who was the head of Arkansas HHS at the time then placed me into the position to head IT — back in the day when there were green screens, green bar paper and mainframes.

Role
Managing Director and Client Executive. My goal is to build long-lasting relationships with our clients by working with them to achieve their business objectives and providing them with solutions that exceed their expectations. I work with my clients and colleagues to provide advisory, implementation, management and staffing services, and have recently launched Huntzinger’s Merger, Acquisition and Affiliation (MA&A) Information Technology Methodology.

Role
I am a Management Consultant and a Delivery Manager for Huntzinger. My background is in IT servicing. I have built and managed IT support and project management organizations (PMOs) in my past and have a particular expertise in support, help desks, and contact centers. I also happen to be a medical technologist with a laboratory background, so I often do lab IT work for our clients. I tend to flip flop between support services and laboratory roles with Huntzinger, depending upon the client’s needs. As a Delivery Manager, I have consultants who report to me, and I manage this team from a Huntzinger perspective on behalf of our clients.

Role
Client Executive.
“The role of a Huntzinger client executive is two-fold. On one hand, I recruit and provide talent resources for clients so that they’ll have access to assets with the depth, knowledge and expertise they require. On the other hand, I also work on the delivery side of the business to develop strategies and implement the solutions the clients need. I have no problem rolling up my sleeves to do whatever needs to be done — from doing spreadsheets to managing the oversight of major implementations.”
