Doug Miller
Mr. Miller has extensive information technology operations experience in manufacturing, financial services, and health care, as well as a deep consulting background in many more industries. He is adept in roles requiring diverse skill sets that allow him to function effectively in deeply technical roles while also serving as a project manager, a business process consultant, and a leader of technical teams.
Doug began his career as a system administrator and web developer and quickly moved into leadership and customer-facing roles. Much of Doug’s experience has been in startup companies where he was required to provide hands-on engineering support one moment, and then shift into leadership or pre-sales role the next.
He eventually moved into a senior technical leadership position in a large public hospital, where he was responsible for leading the Tier IV engineering function in a 24/7/365 IT environment. Doug moved from there into several years of consulting, which included managing the migration of a hospital data center from the hospital itself to a remote hosting facility while not disrupting clinical operations – a project he completed well within budget and on time. He has also recently lead a project to replace existing hospital bed-side workstations with a new, VDI-based single-sign-on system, significantly streamlining clinical workflow.

Successful Strategies for Working with Your Remote Teams as a Small Firm Architect
Many small firm architects have been slowly moving toward working successfully with remote teams. The tools and technology are reliable enough to do this on a regular basis, but do you have the discipline to create and follow the systems to make it work for your small firm? What tools do you need to work productively with a distributed team?
With the right technology, you can work safely from anywhere.
The home environment doesn’t have the capability to support the kind of work people need to do. In other cases, as people move out from behind the corporate firewall, they don’t have the same security protections they do in the office.
With cloud-based systems, companies Doug Miller and his team at Brightworks are able to create an environment where our customers can work safely and securely from anywhere.
