Responsibilities

The IT Department at BARC handles a variety of different duties.  These duties range from handling the in house data network to taking numerous photos of BARC's territory, many of which can be found on the various web pages of this site.  Our IT Department is involved in Billing, including drafting accounts and credit cards for payments, maintaining the customer database and the hardware and software to handle this, building and maintaining the computer sytems throughout the business, building and maintaining the servers throughout the business, working with other departments to implement different programs, such as the outage management system, load control system, SCADA system, etc..., and a number of other duties as they arise.

We like to think that we have one of the most efficient IT Departments around as a single person, Mike Smith, is the one handling all of these duties.  He is often the one that answers questions that come in through the coop email and helps consumers trying to log in to pay their bill online.  As a certified First Aid and Safety trainer Mike also handles all of our CPR, First Aid, and AED training for all of the BARC employees.

Mike also enjoys coming to your classroom or organization to present the BARC safety display, so see our page on Educational programs for more information.
