John C. Jackson, CEO
SOFTWRX, LLC
Mr. Jackson has over thirty years of progressive
experience in the development, management, and improvement of complex software
systems, software and network architectures, processes, and environments.
This experience includes all aspects of organizational change management,
process improvement, process assessment, process definition and modeling,
workflow implementation, and managerial responsibilities. Additionally,
Mr. Jackson works with both industry and consulting in the performance
of Software Capability Evaluations, custom application development, software
process improvement, and acquisition process improvement.
In 2005, Mr. Jackson completed
a custom retail (POS) system and automated scripts for (14) fourteen outlets,
and coordinated the communications. As a consultant for various companies
and industries, Mr. Jackson’s involvement has provided him with many
opportunities in systems integration and EDI, provided Internet services
and managed VPN networks for various Health-Care organizations, manufacturing
companies, and advertising companies.
In 1988, Mr. Jackson was employed
by Teksid Aluminum Foundry, a division of FIAT, as the IT Manager. One
of the many projects led by Mr. Jackson was an innovative quality assurance
program which collected real-time data from the shop floor utilizing heat
sensing pyrometers to detect potential defects at the time of the casting
of automotive cylinder heads. Other innovative projects were the design
and implementation of fiber optics throughout the manufacturing facility
for voice and data. Teksid Aluminum opted to scrap their legacy
system and license from Mr. Jackson the “IMAS”
system which is still utilized today encompassing stringent combination of
MRP/ERP reporting. The versions of
“IMAS” provided management with immediate financial and manufacturing
information un-paralleled in the industry. In addition, Mr. Jackson developed
their 5/7/10 IT growth strategy and budgets, deployed their disaster recovery
plan, and incorporated many of the QS9000 procedures within the software.
While serving as IT Manager
for Teksid, Mr. Jackson started Uni-Matrix, company which served as a VAR
for HP and IBM mid-range systems. Uni-Matrix was then approved for exporting high-end technology
systems to Mexico, Italy, and Brazil, for the deployment of the “IMAS” system
to accommodate other Teksid Facilities. Mr. Jackson was instrumental in creating
the PETA documents (NAFTA) used by Teksid in the construction of a new
facility in Mexico.
Mr. Jackson applied and obtained
his first patent & copyright in 1985, for the development of “IMAS” manufacturing
accounting system on the Unix Platform. The system has since evolved to
both thin-client technology for LAN/WAN’s and graphical environments
supported on various platforms and migrated over into the wholesale and
retail industries. Many of the principals and concepts which Mr. Jackson
deployed throughout the software, are in the forefront of applying technology
to conducting business today. |
