00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:01.570
>> My name is Kevin Murillo [phonetic].

00:00:01.570 --> 00:00:03.630
I'm a Senior Consultant at Tallan.

00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:07.310
We are custom development
firm in the Rocky Hill area.

00:00:07.310 --> 00:00:11.920
We serve Hartford, you know,
most of Connecticut, Boston,

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.070
New York, Florida, and California.

00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:23.500
As far as my day to day, I consult with many
different companies across a range of industries

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:28.410
from healthcare to government
and, you know, private companies.

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:32.660
And I serve mainly to help companies kind

00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:37.740
of solve issues whether it's software
development related, business analysis related,

00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:44.220
and pretty much they need that
involves IT and software development.

00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:48.740
Right now I have a lot of healthcare clients,
and I deal a lot with HIPAA standards.

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:52.580
So we are a Microsoft Gold partner.

00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:54.510
So we deal a lot with the .NET stack.

00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:58.300
And personally I use Microsoft BizTalk Server.

00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:04.980
And we deal a lot with HIPAA standards
for EDI, Electronic Data Interchange.

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:10.530
And we have a big push right now to implement
a lot of the Affordable Care Act provisions

00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:13.160
that are coming into effect next year.

00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:17.420
So working with a lot of
different state agencies.

00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:20.170
I am across the U.S. right
now to implement those.

00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:23.000
And that's just a small portion of what we do.

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.690
Yeah, busy days normally first, you
know, meet up with my team, you know,

00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:31.940
and kind of getting status from everybody, you
know, figuring out what impediments there are

00:01:31.940 --> 00:01:34.520
as far as everybody else's
day to day as well as mind.

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:37.530
You know, clearing as many
impediments as we can.

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:43.750
And then also meeting with clients, you know,
status meetings, kind of getting a sense

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:46.630
for what they would like to
accomplish during any given day.

00:01:46.630 --> 00:01:49.400
Sometimes it's a weekly thing,
sometimes it's a daily thing.

00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.390
And then, you know, usually it's
several hours of good development time.

00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:55.710
You know, if you're lucky sometimes
you are stuck in a lot of meetings,

00:01:55.710 --> 00:01:58.390
but that's just part of the game of consulting.

00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:04.600
And, you know, you're always available for
any conversations or emails or, you know,

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:07.400
screen sharing that a company might need.

00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.180
And, you know, generally that pretty
much takes the entire day just

00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:15.210
between developing and meeting with clients.

00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:20.490
So literally I work a lot with, you know,
Visual Studio, the entire Microsoft Platform.

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:25.890
So that generally involves either
making websites or designing databases,

00:02:25.890 --> 00:02:32.300
implementing databases, you know, creating
software as, you know, it could be whether,

00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:34.320
it could be like desktop applications.

00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:35.960
It could be mobile applications.

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:43.070
It could be, you know, websites integration
and that's mainly what I deal with day to day,

00:02:43.070 --> 00:02:47.470
you know, actually writing code
as opposed to just, you know,

00:02:47.470 --> 00:02:50.170
creating documents, stuck in that all day.

00:02:50.170 --> 00:02:52.860
Normally I have two or three clients.

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:54.440
And it ranges within the company.

00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:57.330
You know, different consultants have a
different number of clients depending

00:02:57.330 --> 00:03:00.160
on how much work there is, you know, per client.

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:04.660
And that might take you, you know, where you're
travelling on a daily basis to the client

00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:07.020
or you might be in one of
our offices [inaudible].

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:13.050
And, you know, we have a broad
range of whether you're, you know,

00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:16.250
at home or in your office or at a client.

00:03:16.250 --> 00:03:19.020
So it's essentially what the client dictates.

00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:22.370
Some clients require that you be
there because they like the piece

00:03:22.370 --> 00:03:24.410
of mind to have somebody on site.

00:03:24.410 --> 00:03:29.190
Whereas others kind of, they don't have the
space and they don't have the time to, you know,

00:03:29.190 --> 00:03:34.010
babysit a consultant, which is great for us
because with very little direction, you know,

00:03:34.010 --> 00:03:35.880
we could kind of hit the ground running.

00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:38.080
And a lot of clients they like that.

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.710
And that's why they choose us.
