• Measure and communicate the outcome of software implementations at client sites. Continue to work with clients post go-live to coordinate updates, the latest functionality, and promote new feature adoption.
• Work in an Agile environment for building and implementing high quality, feature-rich software.
• Use SQL and Strata implementation tools to deliver on client expectations for software implementation and optimization projects.
