A couple months ago I made a trek to Buffalo, NY to meet with several Sodexo IT professionals. Why Buffalo you might ask. That is where our North American IT organization is headquarted as well as a large majority of our Global Applications Architecture and Development team. In fact, our Buffalo offices are a thriving and booming global IT hub.
One thing that has always impressed me is the high caliber of individuals who work in IT at Sodexo and the type of projects they are implementing. Take for example our Business Intelligence Team. No . .. . business intelligence is not an oxymoron. Rather it involves sophisticated software systems Sodexo managers globally refer to for historical, current and predictive views of business operations. These high profile systems involve pulling information from our massive data warehouse in forms managers can use to make intelligent business decisions. The VP of Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (BI) explained to me that since they first introduced BI to Sodexo, they have experienced a never ending demand of requests for new BI systems to implement. Not a bad problem to have.
Another example of the innovative high tech culture in action is our team that develops distributed business applications such as Food Management Systems, Labor Management, Customer Relationship Management and Unit Financial Systems. These are some of the core systems that Sodexo managers use every day to run the business. Members of these development teams often reference one of main reasons they work at Sodexo as the combination of the quality of people they work with and the progressive technologies being deployed. These teams work with some of the latest and greatest from Microsoft including Visual Studio.NET, Windows Workflow, Windows Communication Foundation and SQL Server 2005.
My job is to find more of those high quality individuals to join in the innovation and contribute to the next generation of Sodexo IT solutions. It is a constant search that I embrace with enthusiasm each day. If you are an IT individual reading this blog, what are you looking for in an IT opportunity? Innovative culture? Stability? Growth opportunities? All of the above? Other? Let me know your thoughts as I would love to read your comments.
