Ford Motor Company Event

Friday – April 8, 2011
From: 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Thanks to our former MS student, Talia Selitsky, and a current employee of Ford, we had a fantastic visit at Ford Motor Company.

The Ford field trip provided an opportunity to:
• Tour the Ford Motor Credit Company data warehousing center – Along with the tour of the center, the opportunity to enter into the environmental infrastructure support rooms (Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS, the associated batteries, chillers, pumps etc.)
• Speak with Ford IT recruiters
• Meet/Greet with Maria Flores, responsible for IT Infrastructure Operations in the Canada, Mexico and South America (CMSA) region in Ford Motor Company. As of 2009, Maria is also responsible for the Global Digital Worker Program. Within CMSA, she is involved in numerous global strategic initiatives including Data Center Consolidation, Network Upgrades, IP Telphony Deployment, and Global Help Desk. Her organization is also supporting all infrastructure needs of new plants and business growth. Her responsibility for the Global Digital Worker Program for Ford, encompasses deployment of the tools for employee collaboration and productivity globally. This program is transforming the workplace within Ford Motor Company.

In addition, we ate a yummy lunch at a local Middle Eastern restaurant, Ollie, and mingled with Ford IT personnel. And, did I mention the goodies :)
