Profile
Mark Pokorski has 22 years experience with EDS/HP in various Project and
Release Management roles. Mark's experience includes managing medium to
large projects in both application (software) and infrastructure (hardware)
environments.
As a successful Project Manager, Mark has delivered projects on time and
within budget. An example of the Mark's initiative and drive is the HP
Software License Management system development project. He led a large
project team that included developers, process experts, training
developers, and business experts. The result was a successful deployment
of the system that saved HP (EDS) over a $1,000,000 in contract penalties.
When he was made the PM for AVIA 2.0, the project was behind schedule and
over budget. Mark was able to overcome all of the issues with the project
and deliver a successful enhancement of AVIA within a timely manner.
Mark also has infrastructure experience. He has effectively led the
quarterly Oracle patching on servers to resolve potential security risks.
Mr. Pokorski also led the deployment of HP Operations Manager on 4,500
servers. This initiative saved approximately $100,000 per month in license
fees.
