Twenty to twenty-five! These are the years! Don’t be content with things as they are…. Don’t take No for an answer. Never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and won by youth. She has lived and thrived only by repeated subjugations. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874–1965) |

1> He completed high school in Ireland. 2> He entered Royal Roads in 1986 3> He graduated from RMC in 1991. 4> He played rugby at both RR & RMC. 5> He was RETP. Life as an Outsourcing Executive in Accenture. Who Is It? 1) My life took a dramatic turn as I moved into a manager position 5 years ago. The transition from a relatively stable IT Help Desk manager position supporting internal Accenture employees to a road warrior fixing and setting up Help Desks around the world has proved to be a rewarding experience.
2) With the
onset of telecommunications improvements negating the need to have
employees in the same geographic location as the caller has spawned
the era of Help Desks or Call Centers. I have fallen into what has
turned into a career of phone support. I work on People, Processes
and Technology to create a harmonious mix of happy, helpful people
educating customers and fixing IT problems in many locations. |
3) My first real assignment was based in Dublin, Ireland, (birthplace of my Father and where I completed high school) for 9 months with wife and child. A great place to tour Europe from when tired of the beer, pub life, green stuff and potatoes. 4) With clients like Caterpillar, JP Morgan Chase, Anthem, NY City 311 line, Toys 'R' US, Vodafone, NHS, Deutsche Bank, Best Buy, Dynegy, IHS, I have manged to move calls from higher cost places like Germany, UK, US, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Luxembourg, Australia to lower cost locations like Ireland, Slovakia, Prague, China and India. 5) The experience from military life of constantly moving has made the travel easier but hopefully the future holds a more stay at home existence to watch the two young boys (3 and 7) grow up to learn ice hockey and all things Canadian. It is travel to 3rd world places that makes me appreciate Canada and unlimited drinking water from a tap, paved roads with sidewalks, a society that is pro life, safety conscious and strives to continuously improve. Tim Hortons always factors high in that group too. The luxury hotels have replaced the hootchie and C rations have been replaced by fancy restaurants but I still have enormous respect and admiration for those people fighting and supporting fighting with Canadian military uniforms on.

"Many Hands - make the burden light". « L’aide de plusieurs rend la tâche facile » S125 Bill & S134 Rolande Oliver |
The eVERITAS electronic Newsletter reaches over 5,000 readers . It is a service provided by the RMC Club for Members in good standing with current addresses in the data base. It is designed to provide timely information on current events at RMC and to keep Members "connected". Occasionally, it will be distributed to non-members to entice them to join or renew their membership. Membership information is available at www.rmcclub.ca Newsworthy articles from national or local papers that may not have been available to the majority of our readers may be reproduced in e-VERITAS. We will also publish articles in either official language as submitted by Cadets and Staff, on "current life" at RMC. Other short “human interest stories" about Cadets, Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff at the College will appear from time-to-time. Readers of e-VERITAS are encouraged to submit articles in either official language to william.oliver@rmc.ca. In particular, up-to-date “Where are they now?” articles on Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff would be most welcome.
eVERITAS
is intended as a supplement and not a replacement of Veritas, the
highly popular magazine of the RMC Club printed and distributed three
times a year to Members by mail.

Chaque édition du bulletin électronique e-VERITAS rejoint plus de 5,000 lecteurs. C’est un service fourni, par le Club des CMR, aux membres dont les adresses sont à jour dans notre base de données. Son but est de fournir des renseignements à point nommé sur les actualités au CMR et de garder en communication les membres du Club. Occasionnellement, il sera distribué aux membres qui ne sont plus en règle espérant qu’ils renouvelleront leur carte de membre annuelle ou qu’ils deviendront membres à vie. Les renseignements sur l’adhésion au Club sont disponibles au www.rmcclub.ca. Articles d’intérêt national ou local qui ne sont pas disponibles à la majorité de nos lecteurs seront reproduits dans e-VERITAS. Nous produirons aussi des articles dans l’une des deux langues officielles soumis par les élèves officiers et le personnel du Collège sur la vie actuelle au CMR. Nous offrirons de temps à autre de courtes anecdotes sur les élèves officiers, les Anciens et les membres du personnel d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Nous encourageons les lecteurs de e-VERITAS à soumettre des articles dans l’une ou l’autre des deux langues officielles à Rolande.Oliver@rmc.ca. En particulier des articles récents sur « Où sont-ils présentement? » seraient grandement appréciés. e-VERITAS est un supplément et NON une substitution pour VERITAS la revue populaire du Club des CMR imprimée et distribuée aux membres en règle, par la poste, trois fois par année. |
