Derek began in the Client Services Department in 2005 as a support representative before transitioning to the role of field trainer. As a client services field trainer, he organized and ran pre-implementation meetings with clients, assisted in the initial setup of new accounting systems, trained new users, and assisted with ongoing software support.
