I am the majority owner, founder and the driving force behind the creation of the Oper8 business administration software system. I have used it since its inception in 2005 and managed a varied and detailed extensive set of businesses with it. My business experiences were the testing ground for the various specifications and the design of the software. I managed investments, developed real estate, handled self directed investment portfolios, construction and general business administration all utilizing the Oper8 software. I have over 40,000 documents in the Oper8 Business Systems software and access them through some 30 different business profiles. I can keep track of everything because Oper8 creates "Contextual Transparency" of your small business, without requiring additional mid level management.
