Our “Staff Spotlights” is an article series that highlights some key players on the AVTECH team. These articles show our Room Alert users the amazing team behind our environment monitoring products, accessories and services. We periodically release Staff Spotlight articles to share some insight into how our team has created and maintained Room Alert, the leading product for proactive environment monitoring worldwide.

Meet Sean

Sean Bowker is our knowledgeable IT Manager. In addition to that hat, he also wears a second hat in managing our Tech Support Team as they help customers. He does this by assisting the Technical Support Team in handling customer inquiries as well as providing additional support during the troubleshooting process. On a typical day, Sean checks in with the Technical Support Team and reviews important information so they are delivering the best possible service to all of our Room Alert users. We have team members going on 5 years and team members in their first 6 months. Sean shared that, “With the wide variety of Room Alert monitors, sensors and accessories we offer (both current and legacy) it is impossible to learn everything within the first few months of training.” He also invests time in various ongoing projects such as working with users to be sure that they are able to access their information in a secure manner. 

At night, outside of regular business hours, Sean can spend hours reviewing relevant technical support data which helps him to identify trends and audit the effectiveness of our team as well as taking time to run Windows Updates and reboot servers. We have a large number of Windows-based servers and dozens of Linux servers just here at our AVTECH headquarters, in addition to the network switches and other hardware that require periodic reboots and other maintenance. He also helps to manage the substantial infrastructure hosted at other facilities that make up the AVTECH.com and RoomAlert.com systems.  

Sean’s hard work and dedication ensures the overall performance of AVTECH’s electronic networks and leads the IT department in fulfilling AVTECH’s information systems requirements. The work he does is absolutely critical to allowing our team to come into work every day and seamlessly service our Room Alert customers so they can prevent the 30% of costly downtime that is caused by environmental threats.
