About Dale Harper – BIGDY Founder

Dale worked with leading Australian technology services provider Fujitsu where he worked with many leading brands, including Boral, Vodafone, and Macquarie Bank.

At Fujitsu Dale became involved in evaluating the very first version of Windows Server (Windows NT 3.5 beta) then went to Zurich Insurance for 3 years to lead a team introducing the nascent Microsoft Windows Server Platform- back when Windows Server was still called Windows NT Server (3.5, 3.51, and NT 4). Windows Server 2000 went on to replace Novell Netware at Zurich Insurance.

In 1999 Dale then left Zurich Insurance and started his own IT Consultancy – BIGDY – and has been at it without interruption up to today.
