For many years, the City has been languishing on old software and old processes. Once the the San Diego Data Processing Corp was dissolved and their software support services taken over by an IT company, they've suffered from a lack of proactive leadership for the City (sorry, you can't have Engineering Software leadership without Engineering Software leaders immersively and proactively engaging in your environment).
While my role at Bentley is supposed to be 100% general training development, the City's success is personally important to me. I worked with the Account Manager to work directly with the City to help move the Migration to OpenRoads contract forward. I performed discovery interviews and helped lead in the development of the migration goals and deliverables scope. I am currently working with their sanitary and storm designers to train the softare and define migration standards.
An interesting note: most of the folks I knew well in 2000 can't be found. They've retired, I'm still working. Hmmm.... One of the reasons I left was that I wanted fast, edgy, broad and exciting. Hmmm... It was a good call. The past twenty years has been all those things. And I do like saving people time.
