PointBridge Expands Unified Communications Practice
PointBridge, a leading Microsoft® solutions provider, hired Matt McGillen as senior consultant in the Unified Communications practice. McGillen will focus on delivering innovative solutions to PointBridge clients using the new Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Office Communication Server (OCS) 2007 platforms.
McGillen joins PointBridge from Berbee Information Networks, where he was a professional services manager, responsible for more than 40 direct reports and delivery of all Microsoft and Cisco professional services in the Chicago market.
Prior to that, McGillen worked as a network engineer for three years at Meridian IT Solutions, where among his many responsibilities he led a multi-national migration to Microsoft Exchange for a global law firm.
“Matt brings a wealth of talent to our Unified Communication group,” said PointBridge Director of Professional Services, Ethan Matyas. “Matt’s unique background combines deep expertise with Microsoft and voice-over IP (VoIP) technologies. Many of the clients that PointBridge assisted in early adoptions of Exchange 2007 are now looking to deploy new features – including the Unified Messaging capabilities in Exchange and the forthcoming VoIP capabilities of OCS. Matt brings a new level of competence to our team.”
McGillen received a B.A. from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and is a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE).
