First Industry Ambassador - Mark Cupitt
January 10th, 2007 by Gil Heiman
Just several weeks after announcing our first Campus Ambassador, we are proud to announce the appointment of Collanos’ first Industry Ambassador, Ambassador Mark Cupitt.
Mark, an Ozzie living in Philippines, has worked in software development for over 25 years with companies such as GE Information Services (GEIS) and P&O Shipping. Currently he owns and manages a 52-employee business that manufactures and refurbishes aircrafts in the Philippines and, very soon, also in Thailand.
Many of his employees are concurrently engaged in multiple team projects, sharing designs, budgets, proposals and other critical documents with other employees as well as with external companies.
To better serve their communication and collaboration needs, which were entirely based on Skype and email, Mark decided that Peer-to-Peer was the way to go:
In Asia, we are still subject to internet, power and telephone outages, where a centralized server causes more grief than it is worth. Out here in the Philippines and other developing countries, the unreliability of the services makes P2P (Peer to Peer) the only really viable option. We basically have given up using our central server. I have two web servers that we cannot get to work for a lot of the time due to infrastructure failures on networks and power outages.
Having read about the Collanos Ambassador program on our web site, Mark decided to take on the role as an ambassador to help promote our solutions within the Aviation industry as well as in other industries in the Philippines. As of this, Mark will also be carrying also the role of Country Ambassador to Philippines.
Congratulations Mark!
