Terje Flaarønning

I have been working professionally in the field of ICT since I got my first paid job in 1991 while I was still in high school. I am known to posses unique skills within most technology areas and are able to couple this with my excellent understanding of business needs and priorities. Customers, partners and co-workers all see me as a trusted advisor and a go-to person when it comes to any ICT based solution. I hold a few vendor specific certifications such as HP Networking Master ASE;,Cisco CCIE Emeritus #17105, Microsoft MCSE + Messaging on NT, 2000 & 2003 and Microsoft MCSA + Messaging on 2000 & 2003 among others. However, my knowledge is not limited to only the certified areas as I do understand technology, not just a single vendor’s implementation of a technology. Also, being a quick learner does help in today’s quickly moving world.
