    For these projects I played many roles over the years. In the beginning we performed an Implementation Assesment and created a project plan to deliver solutions on the findings.

After this was in place we partnered with New Seasons IT to deliver and upgrade to their Kronos software, adding new data feeds to provide more reporting data from their SQL Server, followed up with a couple of years of miscellaneous support (provided by various people at Improvizations, not just me!)
