Who is an Implementation Specialist?

When a client purchases a new hardware or software system from us, the sales representative who sold it to them moves on to the next client. That's where an Implementation Specialist comes in. Implementation Specialists use their technical knowledge to install, monitor and customize systems for our clients after the initial purchase has already taken place.

To accomplish this, you will talk with our clients, customize features, define objectives and deliver training sessions. Essentially, you ensure that a client doesn't just buy our product, but has a positive experience with it, too.
