As Senior Director of IT Mr. Phillips manages the internal Help Desk, the Web Development team, and the Server and Networking infrastructure (SNI) groups within Sourcefire IT. Sourcefire, the creator of Snort, is a leader in intelligent cybersecurity solutions with solutions from a next-generation network security platform to advanced malware protection. Mr. Phillips implemented accepted best practice business processes replacing the ad-hoc methodology that was used previously. This included standardizing and documenting policies and procedures. Standardizing both employee laptops and desktops and the server and network infrastructure. Mr. Phillips was recognized by the Executive team as integral to improving communication between IT and the rest of the business leading to increase trust and better internal relations. Mr. Phillips, with the VP of IT, leads monthly strategy meetings with the Senior Executives within Sourcefire and managed the IT roadmap and budget. Additionally, Mr. Phillips instituted bi-monthly email updates to all employees with general updates on IT projects that would affect end users. In these updates, issues, either identified in the IT ticketing system or proactively, are also addressed. Highlights include: • Led the effort to replace the enterprise phone system from the RFP process, down selection process, contract negotiation, all the way to the seamless implementation and roll out to 4 global offices initially over one weekend. And subsequently to 3 additional offices within the first year. • Brought up three additional offices and moved two current offices in a twelve month period with no down time or interruption to the business • Data center migration. Including the migration of over 40 business critical applications to the cloud or to the new data center. • Replaced the Help Desk ticketing system used by IT to improve response times, improve customer satisfaction, and to provide better visibility and reporting capabilities. • Increased Help Desk coverage from 8 to 5 Monday - Friday to an outsourced model providing 24 / 7 / 365 support for the cost of less than 1 FTE. This greatly improved customer satisfaction of the employees, while staying within reduced budgets All this was done with no additional head count as Sourcefire approximately doubled in size and added 3 additional international offices.
