INTRODUCTION

Hi folks!

I’m Duncan McAlynn, your guide on the journey to better understanding the System Center technology solutions from Microsoft. As a 13-year veteran in the field of Information Technology, I’ve been privileged to work with some of the most widely known companies in the world. This broad background has given me the ability to scale solutions from the small-to-midmarket size, all the way up to the global Fortune 2000. Information posted here will likely run the full spectrum.

When not writing online articles, editing others works or publishing my own, I design System Center solutions for customers of Idea Integration. In my spare time (what little there is) I enjoy spending time doing things like Geocaching, kayaking, writing (non-work related) and just being outdoors.

I’m also a bit of an amateur photographer and enjoy the digital medium as it affords the most number of mistakes at the lowest expense. My photos can be viewed online at: http://www.mcalynn.com/photos and http://www.flickr.com/photos/duncanmc.
