CMiC Team Member Spotlight: Tom Rojas

In developing our CMiC Core Team, we knew that we needed team members from a variety of roles and backgrounds. The implementation of CMiC will bring an improved software system with many benefits to our Keeley’ns. However, as with any new software, there will be new challenges and learning curves. Tom Rojas, IT Director, is bringing his technological expertise to the team to help guide Keeley though this transition as seamlessly as possible without interrupting processes and operations.

Tom began his IT career with 12 years at CenturyLink where he eventually managed a team of engineers in the financial technology space, specifically targeting international stock market data transfer. In 2019, Tom joined the team at Interface Systems where he served as the Network Operations Center (NOC) Director. For three years, he led several teams responsible for managing the network infrastructure of 1,500 clients across 34,000 retail and restaurant locations. In January 2023, Tom transitioned to Keeley Companies where he now serves as IT Director. In his role, Tom oversees the entire Information Technology Department, ensuring the seamless operation and strategic direction of IT initiatives. He manages three key IT Departments: IT Operations, IT User Experience, and IT PMO.

As IT Director, Tom plays a key role in the implementation of CMiC companywide. Tom and his team are responsible for data backups & transfers, management of the users & environments in CMiC, updates & scheduled downtime to the system, and a variety of other key functions. Additionally, Tom’s team is vital to creating integrations between CMiC and other internal software platforms such as UKG, Fieldpoint, Salesforce, estimating software, and more.

“From a technology perspective, CMiC will bring several significant benefits to Keeley Companies in the future. By integrating various functions into a single platform, CMiC will enhance operational efficiency and data accuracy, reducing the complexity of managing multiple systems. The transition from Sage 300 to a managed and assembled infrastructure will ensure that our hardware and data are safely backed up and resilient against system-related failures. This setup will also reduce the burden on our internal IT resources, allowing us to focus on more strategic initiatives. Additionally, CMiC’s improved integration capabilities will streamline workflow by consolidating the tasks of multiple applications, eliminating the need to switch between different tools to complete tasks.”

Tom’s passion and IT expertise are key to a successful implementation and rollout of CMiC. If you have any questions or want to learn more about the process and what it means for you and your team, you can reach out to Tom directly at trojas@keeleycompanies.com.
