Flycast Partners provides IT Service Management consulting and implementation services to organizations across North America. Our clients remain ahead of the curve on technology adoption while maintaining the rock-solid principles of ITIL in practical, focused projects.

As premier implementers of on-premise and cloud technologies we deliver sustainable change at the right time and at the right cost. While solution providers have come and gone or have changed their way of doing business, we have maintained our customer-focused values despite continuous shifts in technology and in the marketplace.

We are more interested in helping you mature as an IT organization and in aligning your Business and IT goals, than we are in selling you the latest cool tools.

For the last several years we have been struggling for a better way to get insight and manage our technology department across the board. We are tired of looking in various databases, spreadsheets and emails trying to determine what equipment we have, when licenses expire, what our most frequent help desk requests are, where our money was spent last year, what devices were more costly to maintain, make sure we are complying with E-Rate and where equipment is installed, etc. But we also wanted to keep it lean and simple for ourselves and our end users. In addition many systems these days have great time saving features built in allowing us to carry out quick and common tasks such as restarting services, identifying affected services when a server goes down, etc.

ITSM (IT Service Management) has been a buzzword of late and other compliance models like ITIL, COBIT and Six Sigma have been looked into, attempted and often thrown out by various district IT departments, often because they are too rigid or complex or built for much larger organizations.
After a thorough search Val Verde USD has selected Cherwell as our new ITSM software in an attempt to consolidate our assets and information into a single system. Also, we are placing great emphasis on keeping it simple, both for us and our end users.

We are going to share our challenges that caused us to start looking, our goals for a new system, our search process and eventual selection. If you have been looking to get a better handle on your day-to-day or are already using an ITSM system come and join the conversation.

ASAC Clark has a PhD/ABD in Criminal Justice and Public Safety. A Masters Degree in Criminal Justice Administration and a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice. Prior to entering on duty in 1995 as a Special Agent, ASAC Clark was a Police Officer for the Youngstown, Ohio Police Department from 1986-1995. During service with the Youngstown, Ohio Police Department, Officer Clark served as an undercover officer investigating drug trafficking and gang related crimes. For Officer Clark’s work as an Undercover Officer, he received a Proclamation from the City of Youngstown, Ohio Mayors Office. Officer Clark also developed and implemented the gang interdiction and prevention programs for the Youngstown Police Department. ASAC Clark has been assigned to Los Angeles since May 2007. ASAC Clark currently directs the Gang, Violent Crime, Drug Cartels, Organized Crime and Crimes Against Children Programs for the Los Angeles FBI Office, and is responsible for over 350 Agents and Task Force Officers, and the management of approximately 10 million dollar program budgets. From 2008 through the present, ASAC Clark has directed the execution of over 300 gang/drug/violent crime “takedown” operations, resulting in the arrest of over 6000 gang members, narcotics traffickers and other violent criminals. As a result of these “takedowns” a multitude of gang and drug trafficking organizations have been disrupted and dismantled and over 70 million dollars in assets and proceeds have been seized. In 2012, ASAC Clark working with the LAPD developed the LAPD/FBI Homicide Library. This initiative was developed to digitize over 28,000 solved and unsolved murder case files, in order for them to be downloaded into a robust cross-reference and searchable “virtual” data base. The Homicide Library will allow for ease in conducting homicide investigations and searching for like-clues and case attributes, for greater solvability and higher clearance rates. The Homicide Library, a multi-phased investigative and intelligence program, will allow for intelligence collection as well as investigative enhancements for the LAPD, FBI as well as other law enforcement agencies across the United States as well as around the globe. The FBI Behavioral Science and Behavioral Assessment Units will also utilize the Homicide Library, in order for a higher degree of analysis to be conducted to identify trends, serial attributes and other pertinent information that may be utilized to solve homicides and other violent crimes. Lastly, the LAPD and the FBI are securing a physical location for the digital library. This location will be utilized as a place for investigations to continue and healing to take place for the victim families. In 2010, ASAC Clark, along with partners from the LAPD developed the FBI Community Impact Program (CIP). The CIP is a comprehensive and holistic “post operational” strategy designed to work in an integrative fashion with the community in which the gang operations were conducted. During the inception of the CIP, the FBI and LAPD will work with the citizens and many Community Based and Faith Based Organizations to instill Health, Healing and Reclamation of the communities, which were impacted by the removal of gang members and other violent criminals. The CIP has had several successful iterations, and continues with several operations planned for 2014. In furtherance of the FBI/LAPD CIP, ASAC Clark has also coordinated with various Community Based and Faith Based Organizations to establish two separate Mentoring Programs, which will service youth in need of Mentorship, Leadership and Discipleship. In 2010, ASAC Clark developed the FBI/LAPD Gang Homicide Task Force (GHTF), coined “Operation Save Our Streets” (SOS) which has targeted gang related homicides and violent assaults. From 2010 to the present, the SOS has cleared in excess of 220 gang related homicides, arrested over 350 subjects, and reduced the homicide rate within the LAPD’s South Bureau by over 20%. In addition, The SOS initiative has been a part of the success realized in Los Angeles, where the overall homicide count was reduced by 49 murders compared to the previous few years from approximately 300 to 251. As a result of the success of the SOS Program, ASAC Clark has been able to secure one permanent SOS Task Force in Los Angeles, and several other “term” SOS Task Forces that operate throughout Los Angeles. From January 2005 through May 2007, ASAC Clark was a Supervisor in the FBIHQ MS-13 National Gang Task Force Unit. While serving as the International Operations Chief, ASAC Clark was successful in facilitating several El Salvador National Civil Police (PNC) and FBI International Anti-Gang Conferences. ASAC Clark also directed a team that developed and implemented the CAFÉ Program though which the criminal fingerprints and criminal histories of gang members in Central America could be shared among various American and Central American law enforcement organizations. ASAC Clark also assisted in the development of the Central America Police Officer Exchange Program, and the Transnational Anti-Gang Unit (TAG) that has been fully embedded in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Nicaragua. On September 10, 2001, SA Clark was assigned to the Attorney General John Ashcroft’s Protection Detail. As the events of September 11, 2001 unfolded, SA Clark provided security for Attorney General Ashcroft, ensuring the continuity of the US Government on 9/11. SA Clark reported to the Chicago Field Office in 1995 and was assigned to a multiple investigative squads.

Like so many start ups, it all started with an invoice, a rather large invoice.  Thinking the cost of resolving a data format change was too high, our founders decided there must be a better way to deal with the situation, one that didn’t require writing such a large check to Microsoft.  With investment from local governments and a small group of investors, the seeds of Waterford Technologies were planted in 1999.

Our simple vision started with the idea that there is valuable business information stored in a company’s email, not just in the email content, but in the context of ways email moves through an organization.  Information about who is talking to who, what are they talking about, what data is being moved into and out of a company, information that defines how and why a company and its employees use email.  With the idea that email context has value, Waterford Technologies and our MailMeter Insight product was founded in 2000 in Waterford, Ireland.

Over time, our interactions with customers lead us to believe that in addition to understanding the context of email, a differentiator of our archiving solutions to this day, that joining archiving to our core reporting capability was a strong combination. Today, Waterford Technologies is one of the world’s leading email archiving and file management companies servicing an extensive global client base from our offices in the US, Ireland, the UK and the Middle East.

We are proud of our reputation as a global leader in email and file management solutions, and our ability to provide hands-on support to our customers. What makes Waterford Technologies unique is not only our adaptability, but our professional, hands-on approach to each customer’s needs. The key to our success lies not only in our products, but in our excellent customer service and technical support.
