As the Director of I.T. Services for Patagonia, Casey Stoops knows the challenges of managing the technology infrastructure for one of the world’s most popular sports apparel and gear providers. Between desktop support, server management, phone systems, printers, and the rest of the network infrastructure, Stoops and his team have many issues competing for attention. At the same time, Patagonia’s corporate mission includes using business “to inspire and implement solutions to environmental crisis.” As such, Stoops is always alert to potential solutions that improve service to end users while reducing the environmental footprint of Patagonia’s operations.
