Mr. Highland has over 30 years of experience in information technology and over 20 years of experience in architecting successful large-scale systems. Mr. Highland led the development effort for the Data Capture System for the U.S. 2000 Census. In 1998, he built on the US Census work, integrating socio-economic coding automation into the design to define the system architecture that successfully processed over 30,000,000 forms for the 2001 UK Census. For the 2006 Canadian Census,  he evolved the architecture to support the first large scale census integrating multi-channel paper, internet and telephone data capture. He recently implemented advanced multi-channel integration architecture for the US 2010 Census Decennial Response Integration System and advised on the architectures for UK 2011 and Canada 2011 Censuses.
