I had the opportunity to speak with CEO Patrick Ghilani about the success of MRI Software and what propelled them to this year’s 2016 Best of Tech Software of the Year win. He filled me in on why he thinks MRI is what it is today and where it will continue in the coming years.

They are growing and they keep on winning. It’s hard to imagine that this organization with its growth over the past five years continues to win awards, but they do because they keep the same small feel that their employees and customers love. It’s been a great model for them and I was happy to get to hear more about what keeps driving them to be the best.

When you walk into Accellis Technology’s office, you’ll see a large plush bear sitting at its own desk and plenty of sticky notes with ideas they need to get back to stuck against their conference room windows. You’ll also notice how open it is and how friendly everyone was when I first walked in. In the short period of time that Accellis has been in business, they’ve developed a strong culture which has helped them build and retain their customer base. I got the opportunity to hear more about who they are and how they became the winner of 2016 OHTec’s Best IT Services Company of the Year. Enjoy!

When folks think of NASA, they think rockets and the moon. For the most part, you’re right. NASA Glenn specializes in many of those fields of engineering.

I had the chance to learn more about how this team operates and they also took me on a 3-D test ride in a lab that can help organizations like General Motors and Ford make vehicles last longer and run better. Hope you enjoy this podcast as much I did hanging out!

Essex Digital Platform was stunned when they heard their named called this year at the Best of Tech Awards. But after spending some time with Tom and the team, I can’t understand why.

I had the opportunity to once again get to know how diverse Hyland is regarding its OnBase Software.
