Jason Spanos
All Your Ducks
Jason Spanos applies method and rigor to everything he approaches. He is about to hit 30 years of experience working with ERP systems and has done everything from building interfaces to project management to sales and marketing. Jason stays focused on current research data and methods for successful projects and firmly believes that reflection and continuous improvement are required for growth. His current pet peeve is the term "best practice" - which should be replaced with the term "better practice", suggesting there is always room to explore better ways to do things in the future.
