Oxford-based IT Consultancy recruit New Technology Consultant to further expand support for disparate and fast growth organisations

Oxford,18 September 2006: Microsoft Certified Partner, The Oxford Knowledge Company has appointed Jon Hayes as Technology Consultant to bolster its growing team of network support and implementation specialists. Jon joins from RM where he was responsible for maintenance and development of systems, supporting in-house and remote employees in locations as diverse as the UK and India.

Jon brings considerable experience of running and deploying large-scale systems and servers, particularly Microsoft Exchange Server and Sharepoint Server, to ensure the seamless running of business applications including email and web programmes. With experience gained at organisations including RM, Telewest and Adobe under his belt, Jon has considerable ‘hands-on’ experience of supporting fast-moving and business-critical teams. He comes to The Oxford Knowledge Company seeking challenges.

“Jon has a great understanding of enterprise systems – the essential hardware and software that power our clients’ businesses,” says Mark Salisbury, Managing Director of The Oxford Knowledge Company. “But, for us, this is just half the story. He’s professional, personable and articulate: able to explain complex issues in layman’s terms. In today’s businesses, managers and users don’t necessarily want to know the nitty-gritty about the technology supporting their systems, they just want to know it’s delivering what they’re expecting, when they’re expecting and without having to think about it.”

He continues, “For us, this is about working closely with clients to anticipate business needs, and having the depth of knowledge, expertise and experience to advise and support an organisation no matter how, if, or when it grows. Each of our consultants has a real grounding and the technical expertise to understand individual client needs. Jon is not only extremely capable; he takes responsibility of an issue and goes the extra mile to gain the successful outcomes our clients demand.”
