Bert Wolters is currently a lead consultant in hybrid datacenter at the Dutch company Inspark. Bert started his professional life in the Dutch Military, but around 1999 found his talents to be in IT, helping out the platoon and unit leaders with small IT issues in the field. By the time he started on his first Microsoft certification in 2005, he had found his new vocation in life. His ability to look at all sides of a story (issues/problems, solutions, and implementation), was formed by the wide variety of jobs he took. Having a background in the business side of IT as well as Incident and Change Manager, and in the field as engineer and consultant, helps him deliver the most comprehensive solutions for businesses whether technology or business-case driven.

Since 2010, he further specialized in Microsoft infrastructure technology, focusing on system and platform management and is still riding Microsoft’s wave of innovation, looking forward to, and experimenting with, every single new infrastructure feature of Microsoft Azure. Because of this focus, he decided to resign from the Dutch PowerShell User Group (DuPSUg), and the System Center User Group in The Netherlands (SCUG_NL), and chair the Experts Live Foundation.

He currently advises companies on how to get the most out of their Azure platform implementation or System Center Suite and provides knowledge on Microsoft’s hybrid cloud, Hyper-V, Azure Stack, Microsoft OMS, and StorSimple.
