David PetersonEmployee of the Month

David Peterson Goes Beyond the Call of Duty for Our Customers!

David was nominated for his can-do attitude and working many extra hours, including nights and weekends, to help several customers convert from their former software to eEmpACT so that they could "go live" by January 1st. "The process can be time-consuming and requires many steps given what the customer requests, so I did whatever it took to get it done," comments Peterson. Commitment and dedication is exactly why David has won Employee of the Month before.

Thank you David, from all of us at eEmpACT!
