Jim was the architect of two of the world's largest managed enterprise voice networks; each solution serving roughly twenty-thousand users in more than one-thousand communities across Canada, providing telecommunications in five different languages, through six time zones, administered completely from a central location.

Jim has now moved on from the world of proprietary telecom, and is commited to open-source telephony.
