Bio
Scott A Lastine
Diane was my first contact with WIPFLi, and the start of a long and successful relationship with the great resources at WIPFLi. Diane worked with us to install Great Plains. Diane understands what we need, even if we are not asking for it clearly. Diane's best project - we developed a GP to excel link that allows us to have a real time data warehouse with our revenue and costs. We were able to analyze our revenue by segment, month, year, sales person, market, etc. We made GP our data warehouse, and did not need to create a separate data warehouse. Diane has technical expertise in IT and Accounting, and she is very amiable.
