About the Author
Vicente Rodriguez Eguibar is the founder of Eguibar Information Technology S.L.
Company, which is dedicated to providing IT consultancy and services, focusing on corporate
directories, networking, virtualization, migration, and IT optimization. He has been a director
of this company for the last four years, providing services and solutions to Fortune 500
international companies. He has traveled to several countries in Asia, Europe, and America
supervising and managing projects for different companies.
His technical background started in 1993 as an IT trainer. He has also worked in many different
positions as a system operator, technical project manager, and senior consultant for many
international companies. Back in Mexico, where he was born, he was certified by Microsoft
as a Product Specialist, being one of the first people to obtain this certification in Mexico.
At the beginning in México, he administered and managed computer systems for several
industrial companies in the automotive sector. Following his performance in Mexico, he was
required by the CIO office to design and manage the international communication network
and corporate directory for their company. After managing this position for three years, he
was hired by a German car manufacturing company to design the global corporate directory,
being in this position for three years. When the German car manufacturing company sold the IT
section to a German telecommunications company, Rodriguez Eguibar was appointed to design
IT Architecture Infrastructures for external customer companies and government agencies. His
last position before creating his own company was for an international call center corporation,
where he was in charge of designing, deploying, and migrating to the corporate directory,
messaging system, and virtualization strategy.
He was married in Mexico to Adriana Sainz 14 years ago; since 2001, he lives in Spain.
Thanks to my lovely wife Adriana, who has an inexhaustible patience born
of love (and over 18 years of "dating"), even if I am using our family time for
writing. To our parents, Angeles, Geo, Vicente, and Luis and our brothers
Claudia and Luis A. because of their warm affection and close support, even
though they are separated by a distance of 10,000 km. Special mention to
Luis for his exhaustive comprehension of foreign languages, including the "IT
for novices" language. And to all my friends and colleagues, who were always
asking how I was doing. Thank you all!
