I\u2019ve really enjoyed working with a wonderful group of consultants and clients for the last couple of years but it was time for a change.&#160; Sharesquared is a virtual company that hires the best talent they can find wherever you happen to live.&#160; The result is a virtual company where most of the work is done through \u201cTelecommuting\u201d.&#160; The result is a company with some really talented people who are a pleasure to work with, but who you only have contact with electronically.&#160; Although I enjoyed working from home it can lose its appeal after a while when all but one of your colleagues lives 2 to 3 time zones away and you only see people face to face at the annual company meeting.&#160; So when an opportunity came up recently to work for a growing consulting firm headquartered here in Cleveland I decided it was time to make the move.&#160; That company is the BlueChip Consulting Group.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Sharesquared, who focus completely on SharePoint, BlueChip views itself as an \u201cInfrastructure Optimization Consulting Firm\u201d.&#160; They have several successful practices including a growing SharePoint practice.&#160; My role at BlueChip will be similar to the role I had at Sharesquared.&#160; I\u2019ll be a Senior Solutions Architect serving as the chief technical architect within the Portals and Collaboration team at Blue Chip.&#160; In that role it will be my job to help design new SharePoint implementations and provide technical mentoring to the other members of the team.&#160; The difference is that I\u2019ll see the other members of the team face to face on a regular basis.&#160; I\u2019m looking forward to getting to know the members of the team and starting work on some new projects.&#160; I start work at BlueChip next Monday.<\/p>\n<p>So to all my friends at Sharesquared, the best of luck and continued success.&#160; And to all my future friends at BlueChip, I can\u2019t wait to get started.&#160; My new contact info is listed below.&#160; If my email is in your address book please change it to:<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"mailto:paul.stork@bluechip-llc.com\">paul.stork@bluechip-llc.com<\/a><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was my last day working for Sharesquared.&#160;
