Frank Steinocher is the CIO of Shumate Mechanical, a family owned HVAC and Plumbing service provider in Atlanta.
Shumate provides services for both the Residential and Commercial markets through the southeast. Although both departments have HVAC in common, they both have some major differences when it comes to field service and construction.
Frank joined Shumate Mechanical in 1989 working with the management team to computerize and streamline operations.
Frank began his career working as a COBOL programmer for Apex Supply, a wholesale distributer.  Later he worked with a VAR installing Transportation and HVAC solutions to clients on the east coast.
Today, he leads a team of internal and external contractors to provide IoS solutions for Shumate’s business and field operations.
Some of the major milestones have been Integrating Microsoft Dynamics, key2act field service and Altec document repository with a mobile solution for field operations and construction site job cost along with a number of bolt-on specific application modules.
– New technology which was once an annual occurrence is now an every other month event.  Knowing when to add the ‘tool’ to your toolbox is the difference of success of failure.
Frank is an avid runner and has competed in a number of marathons including the Boston Marathon.
