Jay McCormack
Jay is the Solution Architect for Advanced Solutions International. He helps not-for-profit organizations match technology to their needs so that they can run more efficiently, communicate to their members more effectively, raise more funds and do more good.
Jay is not just a man who immerses himself in cutting edge technology and concepts; he actively seeks it out and tries to make it work better for ASI’s customers. Want to know if an iPhone application is appropriate for your business? Need someone to explain the benefits of Twittering for your membership? Jay’s your man.
“My clients are working 12 hour days for a reason. They believe in what they do and I find that inspiring,” says Mr. McCormack.
Jay came to ASI from a background of corporate web development projects as diverse as a Chinese horse racing website and helping build Harvey Norman’s first e-commerce website.
