 Information technology
professionals often work
“behind the scenes” in
many businesses. Yet their
efforts are known and
appreciated by all.
Ian Macharia is no exception.
In his role of Network Administrator,
Macharia oversees the smooth operation of
Quality Associates’ company-wide information
and communications infrastructure,
which includes everything from the
connectivity of servers, computers and
printers to training and assisting employees
with IT concerns.
“I make sure that Quality Associates’
information systems are up and running,”
said Macharia, who joined Quality
Associates in September 2004. “I address
the information and communication technology
requirements of our various business
processes by evaluating, purchasing,
implementing and maintaining the solution
for the business process stakeholders.”
In addition to his regular duties,
Macharia oversaw the planning, installation
and implementation of the technology
and communications infrastructure at
Quality Associates’ new headquarters in
Maple Lawn. Working closely with the
builder, Greenebaum and Rose Associates,
Inc. and other contractors, Macharia examined
floor plans to determine the allocation
of resources.
“Everything needed to be put
together from scratch—from the wiring to
installing the resources. The effort was
about making sure that Quality Associates
had everything to meet its needs and be
up and running on the Monday after the
weekend move,” said Macharia, who has
nearly 20 years of professional experience
in information technology.
Quality Associates would like to
thank Ian Macharia for his dedication and
for his continued efforts in keeping Quality
Associates operating smoothly—as well as
for his extra effort in successfully transitioning
the company to its new headquarters.
