Welcome!

My name is John Alexander, and I founded Back Bay Technology back in 1999.  Back Bay is still a "one-man shop", but that might change one of these days.  For now, it's just me.  I took a break for a few years and accepted an employee position at a major non-profit.  While that work was personally rewarding, I am once again pursuing business as a private consultant.  Thank you for visiting my web site.

I am a Systems Engineer who specializes in delivering Enterprise-Class infrastructure deployments using Microsoft technology.  For example, if you are considering a Vista deployment, a migration to Windows Server 2003 (soon 2008) or Exchange 2007 -- you've come to the right place.  I am also very interested in Microsoft's UC (Unified Communications) vision, which integrates SharePoint, Exchange, Live Communications Server, VoIP, and mobility.

In my discussions with potential clients recently, I've noticed a trend.  I've talked to at least 3 different groups who were either offering a hosted solution, or planning to, and they were concerned about scalability.  This happens to be an area where I have some experience, and there appears to be demand, so I now call out a "Scalability Assessment" consulting engagement on the "Services" page.
