Welcome to the Deck Log
Welcome to the Deck Log — the running log of practical insights, lessons learned, and technical guides from 25+ years of enterprise IT leadership and federal contracting.
What you’ll find here
The Deck Log covers the topics we actually work on for clients — the real-world stuff, not the fluff:
- Federal Contracting — SAM.gov, VOSB and SDVOSB certification, NAICS codes, capability statements, teaming arrangements, and the mechanics of winning federal work.
- IT Leadership — fractional IT Director engagements, IT strategy, budgeting, vendor management, and the operational discipline of running IT across multiple companies.
- Cybersecurity & Compliance — SOX programs, risk assessments, security policies, incident response, and audit readiness for regulated industries.
- Cloud & M365 — Microsoft 365 migrations, Exchange sunset, OneDrive and Teams rollouts, Azure architecture, and cloud-first modernization strategies.
- Fractional IT — how, when, and why to engage a fractional IT leader — including ROI, scope, and what to expect in the first 90 days.
Why “Deck Log”?
Everything published here comes from the field — from actual engagements, actual migrations, actual policy work, actual audits. No AI-generated boilerplate, no theoretical hot takes. Just what we’re doing, what we’re learning, and what’s working (or not).
