ABOUT ME

____

My name is Alan Hodson, and I’m a Microsoft MVP and Enterprise Architect. With over 20 years of experience in IT and Business, I bring a wealth of knowledge across areas like End User Computing (EUC), Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure, and Automation.

Based in Perth, WA, I know the ANZ market and most industry verticals including Health, Education, Mining, Oil & Gas, Retail, Government and more.

I specialise in solutions from Amazon, Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, and more, offering expertise in identity, security, and sustainable practices. Beyond the technical, I aim to empower organisations by delivering innovative strategies that address real challenges and inspire growth.

I’m deeply committed to community involvement, serving as President of the Armadale City Concert Band and Secretary of the Midland Cycle Club. These roles, particularly my 20+ years with the band, reflect my dedication to fostering connections and giving back to the community.

I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and driving success, and I’d love to connect with you to discuss how I can support your goals.
