Dave Cavan

Brian and I worked together at SYSPRO for a number of years, and more recently I've had the privilege of working with him in support of Kwixand, his new venture. Brian has always taken great pride in providing value to his customers - being a great proponent of what they need in their project investment. He finds ways to go beyond their expectations in developing solutions. I've seen him do that as an individual contributor, and as a team leader across a range of IT and business process projects. Brian's breadth of knowledge in IT, finance, supply chain, and complex manufacturing solutions is unique, making him a valuable part of any business improvement project.
