Our clients are the favorite part of my job! I have met so many great and amazing people over the years. I love when I show up at a client’s office and everyone is so cheerful.
What are some cool projects you’ve seen our clients do with Apex’s services/products?
Apex has helped transform so many companies it is hard to pick any one project. Every assessment we do helps our clients see all the potential security risks and allows us to make recommendations on how to improve every aspect of their business so that technology works for them. One of the most recent projects was related to Covid. Our clients needed a safe and secure way to work from home. Our entire team met and came up with a plan that would meet the goal for all our clients. Then our sales team reached out to all the companies that needed a solution. Finally, our project team jumped into action configuring solution after solution to meet the individual needs of each client.
What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
Hearing how happy a client is after I have completed a project or ticket. I love hearing their feedback and reading their surveys each week. I also enjoy teaching other technicians and seeing them grow over the years.
