About Sanford

• I’m a business analyst. I help people when they switch computer systems. (Note #1)

• My specialty is local government software transitions, which I refer to as “projects.” I’ve been through dozens of local government software projects over 30 years: twenty as an ERP consultant then ten as a City IT Director.

• This website advertises my time as a consultant - available by the hour or in larger blocks.

• I like to write. Mostly about government IT projects https://blog.tectonicspeed.com/search/label/Government, sometimes about your digital life https://blog.tectonicspeed.com/search/label/Your%20Digital%20Life, and movies https://blog.tectonicspeed.com/search/label/Movies. (Note #2)

• I use footnotes. (Note #3).

Footnotes

Note #1: The rest of the website is written as third person as possible, but I’m the only employee. This page is first-person without restraint.

Note #2: As a City IT Director, writing blogs helped me draw lessons from the IT changes I experienced… sometimes as a bystander, but usually as the driving force.

Note #3: I do. My footnotes are my internal commentary on my writing; their voice sounds like me.
