Global Communications ‘Strategist’ Kevin Miller Talks Tech Future: Distributed Workforces, Unified Communications & Mentoring

It’s all connected. We’ve witnessed the world become wired together and computerized, then watched the computer shrink to palm size. Kevin Miller’s last two decades at the nexus of Telecommunications and IT give him a unique perspective on Unified Communications – where all your devices work together.

The industry has morphed into the smartphone age, bringing features once associated with a central switchboard to individuals and groups unbound by geography. Server banks, satellites, and microwave transmission will soon fully replace hard-wired phones.

“WE GIVE EACH CLIENT ONE PHONE NUMBER ACROSS ALL DEVICES. THIS MAKES DISTRIBUTED WORK FORCES – UBER STYLE – EASIER TO ASSEMBLE AND MANAGE”, SAYS MILLER.

The Strategist

Communications strategy is focused on designing solutions to meet top business objectives. Miller’s experience is deep. Just after 9/11, he spearheaded the creation and build out for The NY Times business continuity plan. He then implemented their content distribution system, later making a VPN (virtual private network) for reporters and stringers around the world covering the 2003 Iraq war.

Among many other achievements are a broadcast network for the Associated Press coverage of President Reagan’s funeral on 40 hours notice, setting up the network for the Athens Olympics, Overseeing the full integration of Merck and Schering Plough’s mobility network spanning 43 countries – among the largest acquisitions in the Pharma industry—and winning the coveted IT Innovator of The Year Award from Johnson & Johnson. We’re talking aggregated contract values across the globe in excess of $300,000,000, plus 16 leadership and service awards (Linkedin).

We were curious about the seeds of this high-performance career and by way of background, Miller described his initiation into entrepreneurship.

Catching the Sales Bug

In 1996, he walked dormitory hallways at school – Stony Brook University – peddling dollar bottles of Ginseng – a natural study and sports enhancer. He bought them wholesale in the Bronx, 10 for a $1.50, quickly evolving the micro business into a some $50 an hour job that put him through college.

The process taught him the power of customer-centric thinking before its vogue.

Fast Arriving Future

Jumping forward, we asked where communications will be in the next 24-48 months. What are the main trends? “Mobile devices which allow employees to work from wherever they are, will eventually replace traditional desk phones” Kevin began.

“Also, natural voice technology – a more advanced version of present day SIRI and Amazon Echo – will infiltrate communications computing,” he said, adding, “some level of AI (Artificial Intelligence) will inform much of the near future tech, and will continue to improve the customer’s experience.”

The Mentor Connection

Outsourcing communications strategy for an entire organization requires placing a great deal of trust in an individual. Big money is at stake. The constant flux of technology makes choosing the right adviser all the more critical. 

And C-suite level sales has always been about contacts. This is where business meets charity to bring like-minded people together. Kevin Miller first came onto TechinAmerica’s radar for his work at the Ambassador Horace G. Dawson scholarship where he works one-on-one with mentorees. Here, Kevin lends the benefits of experience and access to high school aged, college bound kids.

From One Generation to the Next

It’s a real example of giving back as he too has a mentor, Kenneth Miller (no relation). Kenneth’s background includes business development strategies and project leadership on national and international environmental and facility contracts. He acted as General Contractor for the nation’s first and largest 36-mile Stream Clean-up Project for the City of Atlanta, oversaw federal mid-west remediation sites, Brownfield Management and Permitting on New York’s Hudson River, and served as Chief Environmental Strategist for the Government of Bahamas. “I value character and great listening skills. Early on I recognized these traits in Kevin, which are paramount in business and mentoring”, says Kenneth Miller. 

The relationship between Kevin and Kenneth follows the model of identifying someone whose career path is worthy of emulating, and directly acquiring skills and advice in a one-to-one relationship.

Mentoring creates an environment of trust, fosters many new connections, and brings along the next generation of business people. “No matter how much you know, there’s always a lot more you don’t know,” Kevin Miller said.

This synergy of good deeds, personal growth, and business brings us full circle to our first statement – It’s all connected. Global Communications Strategist Kevin Miller reminds us of connectivity’s end goal to bring people together in the process.

Election Rigging Just Got Real

0
0

At the website blackboxvoting.orgelection fraud expert Bev Harris presents a video in which she and programmer Bennie Smith demonstrate the exact method electronic election software and hardware can be manipulated country wide.

Smith originally doubted the possibility but approached the problem like a hacker only to discover that all the precursors to easy election manipulation had been purposely inserted into the software by the manufacturer.

The short strokes are as follows. In order to make fraud easy, the machine must count votes, not as whole numbers – 1 vote for 1 person – but must instead allow decimal fractions so the race can be manipulated by percentages. In the final fraudulent election reports, the decimals don’t show though the tampering can be detected with proper auditing – auditing which has been systematically removed from regulations across the country.

The Fraction Magic video demonstrates how one could secretly change any election and produce believable if faked results across all the reporting documents in almost every voting precinct – changes made to the video’s Diebold software have been duplicated by every machine vendor, casting doubts on electronic voting in most of America.

Conclusion: someone has gone to great lengths to ensure that an individual with access can silently and quickly make our elections come out any way desired.

Worse, the Fraction Magic video includes damning security tapes of election officials in one Tennessee audit case trying to cover their tracks when experts Harris and Smith were called in to monitor – and similar behavior is reported across the nation. With electronic data, who counts the vote really matters.

Bottom line: don’t let anyone tell you elections can’t be rigged in America. It already has been done, and safeguards meant to protect our Democracy’s all important voting tradition are now neutered. Presently, Democratic party operatives are in control of the count in many suspect districts, though election fraud has a rich history in both major parties.

Day by day, reports of voting irregularities already mar the 2016 election. In a presidential race that proves the old adage that politics is blood sport, it is our very Democracy that appears to be bleeding out.

During October, Wikileaks evidence converting multiple conspiracy theories to fact. Thanks to Bev Harris and Bennie Smith at blackboxvoting.org, the supposed impossibility of nationwide election rigging has been exposed as a very real and troubling threat.
