As we continue talking to team members across the cabinet, we are delighted to share a recent conversation with IT Specialist Chad Heilig. His CHFS career began about 15 years ago as an IT Contractor. One year later he was offered a full time job at CHFS. His current area is SharePoint applications. SharePoint allows employees to create websites, and provides a secure place to consolidate, organize, and access information from any device. The collaboration platform has been crucial during COVID-19 because it allows people to approve and resubmit important documents remotely. I am personally in awe of how quickly our IT staff pulled it together during the early days of the pandemic. Every computer specialist at CHFS should be proud of your contributions. Although most IT professionals prefer to remain in the background, we can all agree that their work is essential for every member of the cabinet. After all, someone has to keep all of this software and hardware working correctly.
