As operations manager, Ian will oversee the firm’s end to end customer service process from initial enquiry through to delivery, while also ensuring processes and systems within the business continue to meet its own evolving demands. A key part of his role will be providing existing and prospective clients with more opportunities to learn about the integrated range of Internet connections, telephone systems and IT support services Converged offers, and the benefits that can be derived from them.
Since it was founded in 2005, Converged has remained at the forefront of the IT sector. It has established one of the most robust connectivity networks in north-east Scotland, which includes access to a pioneering high-speed wireless network in Aberdeenshire and Moray.
Prior to joining Converged in late 2016, Ian worked in the retail and IT industries for over 20 years, initially running his own business franchise. The last decade has been spent in IT and telecommunications support and account management roles. During this time he was involved in facilitating the installation of IT systems, providing hands-on technical support and training, while working with management to successfully increase the profitability of the businesses.
Ian’s introduction to the IT industry came as the result of the advent of Electronic Point of Sale technology in the retail sector, where he was responsible for the system’s installation and subsequent roll-out in stores across Scotland and delivering staff training. He will use his experiences to help drive Converged forward, utilising the latest and most relevant technologies in the process.
Commenting on his new role at Converged, Ian said: “Since joining Converged I’ve been very impressed by the depth of technical support which is offered to customers. It really is a stand-out part of the overall integrated service. Knowing we can provide a high level of technical expertise in-house, should they require it, provides important peace of mind to customers.
“I’ve seen first-hand the transformation that new technology can have on a business. When designed to work in unison, the IT and telecoms systems we have at our fingertips today can deliver significant positive benefits to any size of company.”
Neil Christie, managing director of Converged, said: “Following a detailed review of our operations, we have implemented a new management structure that is designed to facilitate and support our continued growth. Ian’s promotion is the latest in a series of internal management appointments. The varied experiences that Ian and his colleagues bring to their roles will help to shape the future direction of the business and our offering to customers.”
