CV - Silviu Parpalea

Asset ManagementConfiguration Management DatabasesConfiguration ManagementComputer Networks
I have over 17 years of experience working in IT. During all these years, I had the opportunity to grow from individual contributor to team lead in multiple teams, and gather experience from support desk to computer network engineering, which got me in contact with various technologies.
This gave me the chance to know in details how different environments work and are interconnected in order to provide proper services to end user.  
In 2013 I had my first contact with the end to end asset management process. That was the moment when I realized that I found what I was really looking for, and dedicated my time and energy to improving my skills and knowledge.   
Currently I work as Global Asset and Configuration Manager and I maintain the CMDB, both software and hardware inventories, licensing, implement new and improve already existing processes and procedures in order to enhance overall process and save time and money for the stakeholders and the company.
