Woodworking - Custom Furniture

Charlie Plesums recently switched from full time computer-consulting and part time woodworking, to full time woodworking (building custom furniture) and part-time consulting (in electronic business records and workflow management). Some call it retirement. A neighbor calls it pursuing a passion. Follow the link above for information about his woodworking services. He has also started a site with business and woodworking help for solo woodworkers and other solo craftsmen. His consulting services are described below.

Whatever the reason for today's visit, you are invited to look at and comment on some examples of his woodworking.


Electronic Business Records
    Workflow Management
        Document Imaging

Picture of Charlie Plesums Charlie Plesums has had a long career as an Information Technology manager, professor, and CIO, and as a consultant in electronic business records including document imaging, business process management, and workflow management systems. He is probably best known as the project leader and architect of the first large scale document imaging system. As a pioneer, practitioner, and subject matter expert in these technologies, has spoken to over 15,000 people in 14 countries. With over 20 years of experience in electronic records, he is frequently involved in industry standards, system architectures, and conversions between systems.

Charlie is available for short term consulting and speaking engagements. He has also maintained a relationship with his recent employer, Computer Sciences Corporation Financial Services Group. All work related to CSC products, and normally any work for existing CSC customers, would be provided through your existing agreement with CSC. If you are not a CSC-FSG customer, or want to contract directly with Charlie, these are the terms and rates for Charlie's services.

This site contains some of his vendor-independent papers on imaging, workflow management, document and records management, and other related topics - see the site contents directory at the left. It represents his answers to frequently asked questions, but does not pretend to be a comprehensive tutorial on the subject. He may be reached by e-mail at CPlesums@Plesums.com.
