well known companies such as Chase Bank, Dun&Bradstreet, IDT, SAP and Scholastic as well as a number of start
up firms and mid sized companies.Prior to founding Berwick Heights Software, Dr. Jones was a key member in building Boston Technology into the world’s leading provider of voicemail systems. Boston Technology (now Comverse) grew from a startup venture into a billion dollar telecommunication firm during the 1990s. Dr. Jones led the effort in bringing the company from a ten person engineering team generating $2 million in revenue to a fifty-plus person team generating over $40 million in revenue, all within a two year time frame.
Before his success at Boston Technology, Dr. Jones worked for Apollo Computer in their distributed systems group. He designed and co-wrote the world’s first concurrent software license server, a then novel way of protecting software licensing in a networked computer environment. He received a patent as part of the team that developed the concurrent license server and led the effort in promoting the idea to software companies and businesses.
A member of both the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Dr. Jones received his M.S. in Computer Science from SUNY-Stony Brook and his B.S in Computer Science from Florida State University. Also a recognized composer of modern chamber music, which often employs computer-generated sounds, he earned his PhD in Music Composition from Columbia University.
