Bio
Dean Zadak
Mark is that key colleague that you can always rely on to get "it" done and done right, on time and with recommendations on how to proceed. He keeps his eyes and ears on how the organization is operating so that when you need something from him, he not only delivers the "product" but connects the people to get the project done. A great guy to work and who brings the right combination of talent and sense of humor.
Troy Spiess
Mark has a keen understanding of the Microsoft Dynamics GP application and the associate data structure. In working with him on various projects related to Dynamics GP, his knowledge helped us rapidly develop the reporting metrics necessary to substantially improve our Account Receivable operations and provide increased financial performance visibility within the organization. Additionally, his Dynamic’s GP background helped provide the basis for our product catalog and order to invoice reengineering efforts.
