Blog: Exciting Changes, for a Time of Change

It’s been almost 6 months since I joined the Function Point team, and what an experience it has been. As a recent SFU graduate majoring in Business and Economics with plenty of experience in large financial corporations, I have been fortunate to find a unique position that allows me to apply my knowledge while meeting a wide range of professional minds in the creative and architectural industries. As a deployment manager I have met many top level CEOs and creative minds that have a wealth of experience and wisdom to tap into.

I have entered the workforce at a most interesting time in our economic history. It’s been over 30 years since we have experienced such an economic contraction, with foreclosures and banks failures an almost regular news story, it appears everyone is re-thinking how they do business and are ready for a change. With flashes of opportunity breaking through the dark clouds of recession, firms are more focused on monitoring themselves. I have definitely found value in SAAS products such as our own that help companies police themselves, and become more efficient and productive in the way they do business. I am very excited to see where the next 6 months take us. With a new version on the horizon with many new features like our Client Extranet and revamped user capabilities combined with this new philosophy of efficiency, time-tracking, and responsible business, there are no limits to where this product can attain.

When I’m not out saving the world from certain time-tracking dangers, I usually spend my time playing some kind of sport, usually basketball and volleyball, the ones that aren’t weather dependent. I am an advent runner as well, and you can usually catch me running anywhere from False Creek to Grouse Mountain. Here on the “Left” Coast, summers are amazing, but short, so I try and soak as much sun before the rainy season returns. (By rainy season I mean Spring, Fall, and Winter). So far you’ve met the snowboarder, the climber, and combined with the office “pooch” Levi, we’re definitely an eclectic bunch here and we definitely look forward to getting to know you.
