I started at Data Interconnect as the Service Delivery Manager overseeing the Customer Service Team, Print & Post, and working with IT and the Business Development / Account Managers. I also assisted in the implementation of a number of EDI projects working with the Key Account Manager and IT Development team members.

As part of this, I negotiated new print solution contracts, implemented a new phone system, new reporting tool and CRM (including the data migration from the old one).
