Shawn's diverse responsibilities encompassed the development of technical and integration strategies, operational support, application development, IT policies and procedures, and project management and oversight.

Brian Mize - Sr. Programmer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A 12-year veteran of the Newspaper industry, Brian has had experience in a variety of industry-specific software packages. The last two years have seen him expand his tool bag to include Microsoft products at a time when the media world is diversifying its own technology. This diversification has led Brian to embrace BizTalk and the pub/sub method so well embodied in that integration platform. For the last 12 months, he has been a major cog in the integration world of the AJC, performing on all lifecycle levels, from architect through development, testing, and administration of various servers and packages. While a relative newcomer to the Integrations world, Brian has enjoyed immediate success and accomplishment by utilizing BizTalk Server, in conjunction with other integration pieces, to tie multiple disparate systems together in a way that eases end-user angst while also lowering executive skepticism over cost/return ratios.
