The Complex Made Easy



IT organizations often support mobile workers, distributed locations, and complex environments while adhering to rigorous governance and compliance with full accountability.

As infrastructure becomes more complex, business demands increase and the sophistication of end users expands; IT departments often find it challenging to sustain the rate of change and associated cost controls. Projections of continued shortages in skilled IT labor and adoption of new and potentially disruptive technologies have prompted IT leaders to partner with HCGI to offset risk and assume responsibility for managing their asset fleet.

Whether your organization is installing new technology or redeploying existing assets, HCGI can help. Our experienced project professionals and nationwide resources will properly plan, staff, and execute any project regardless of the complexity. After we have executed on our plan, HCGI will define a repeatable process to complete the project.

Why Computer Engineering Is Like Standup Comedy: Wayne Cotter at TEDxRainier


Computer engineer-turned standup comic Wayne Cotter shares his background as a means to discuss the ways in which assumptions and stereotypes affect how we see ourselves and others. Hilarity ensues. Comedian Wayne Cotter appeared dozens of times with both David Letterman and Jay Leno and became a fixture on the national comedy scene. He went on to become a recurring cast member on The Tonight Show and to host "Comic Strip Live" for many years on the Fox network. Although he had studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and begun a career with a New Jersey computer company before long Wayne started moonlighting as a Philadelphia comedian. He continued this double life for some time and ultimately came to the visionary conclusion that the computer industry was going nowhere and left town to pursue show business full time. For the last ten years, he has been entertaining and emceeing at corporate events, which has kept him surprisingly/uncomfortably/predictably/happily close to the earlier career that he never quite left behind. This talk was given November 9, 2013, in Seattle at TEDxRainier, a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
