Allan K. Green
Professional Overview:
Allan Green currently owns and operates the QualiNET Company, providing instruction and courseware development in Object-Oriented Design and Analysis using Rational Rose™ or System Architect™, C++, Smalltalk, and Java languages. QualiNET courses are offered using the most popular and advanced development platforms for Windows systems. QualiNET also provides custom courseware and instruction programs to meet unique training requirements, as well as systems design and integration services. QualiNet has been in business since 1993.
Prior to 1993, Mr. Green served as Adjunct professor of Computer Science at North Carolina Central University under the auspices of IBM’s Faculty Loan program. Mr. Green taught computing-related courses in both the School of Business and the Department of Computer Science, and was known for his commitment to the students and clarity of learning objectives. He was instrumental in introducing new topics into the computer science curriculum and assisting the University with its local area network implementation.
From 1985-1991 Mr. Green managed the consolidation of all major IBM data center facilities in the Connecticut, Westchester, New Jersey tri-state area. In 1985-87 all HQ production (MVS) operations, most notably the accounting and ledger processing, were consolidated at Sterling Forest, NY. During 1988-91 the HQ office/administration processing from 11 locations in the tri-state area was consolidated and relocated to a new I/S facility at Somers, NY. This project also had the added complexity of "regionalization", i.e., standardizing the support, operations, and user interface functions on one region-wide platform or process. Both consolidations were highly successful and the regional centers were acknowledged leaders in remote operations, network management, and end-user services.
