Blacks Gone Geek: August 2013

Saturday, August 31, 2013

Are you using the latest Microsoft Office 2013 technology?

That's why I like being a Microsoft partner. I get to use the latest technology. I just downloaded Microsoft Office 2013. We're using Office 365. We upgraded our website and SharePoint collections to SharePoint 2013. It's a different look and feel. You get new features. When you're looking for a job, it's nice to be able to say you're using the latest technology. People want to hire people who are into technology, folks with the latest software, folks with the latest phones. Birds of a feather flock together.

Milt Haynes is a knowledge manager at Sears Holdings Corporation.

'I graduated from Columbia University in 1983, the same year and in the same class as President Obama,” notes Milt Haynes, “but he took a slightly different path than me.”

Haynes is a knowledge manager at Sears Holdings Corporation (Hoffman Estates, IL), where he ensures that IT knowledge, intellectual capital and experience are shared throughout the organization.

“My interest in computers started when I was a kid in Chicago, with Star Trek,” he says. “Mr Spock always seemed to have a logical solution to any problem. That made me think that if I had a computer, I could do that too.
