Patrick Langlois Serial Entrepreneur born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. Canada. He counts more than 25 years of Information Technology experience, holding numerous quantities of certifications from vendors like Novell, Microsoft, VMware, HP, Cisco, Dell, Oracle, IBM and more. At the age of 7, active Commodore 64 user exploiting knowledge of Games and Applications. 64k of memory kept my mind up most of the nights rather doing homework playing games. Evolution to the C-64 was the Amiga 500 then Atari then IBM XT, 286, 386, 486, Pentium and so on. Computer Science is not given to everyone as Mathematics is a requirement,  Algebra hit me at an early age to find out that I had to pay more attention if I wanted to succeed in school. Whizzing through school, I invested heavily in my Electronics only to find out that the next big thing came to life,  Novell. Before attaining my diploma, the (CNE) Certified Netware Engineer was available as a course and perhaps a career. I took an extra loan to pay for my course, got it completed with the best teachers ever seen,  succeeded and pass all my exams. I took a stage opportunity for a small IBM partner called PCSI inc. They were mostly a service company for IBM. Great contracts, great people,  who knew this stage would be the first place that I would work for to set my career moving forward. Keep in mind, this company made me clean printers, fix computers,  pass cable at wee hours of the nights and weekends which finally resulted to the contract that put me on the map. Royal Lepage invested heavily in Novell 4.1 servers at the time and PCSI won the contract awarded to them for passing cabling but had no Network Engineer. As what happens many time in I.T, Patrick was called to the office with a Statement of Work to install Novell Servers in all the branches of Quebec. I was hired before my stag was over as PCSI was very satisfied of the professionalism offer as I represented them greatly.
