The weather has been vile for so long that I can't remember what the sun even looks or more importantly feels like. For all it's worth, I might as well be in England or the south pole for that matter. I'm a warm weather fan anymore, I used to enjoy the cold weather and the ski slopes, before I blew out my kneed and ended my career on the slopes of Steamboat - Vagabond trail.
Fortunately, no sleet or snow, but we have had some wicked storms as of late.
With the new year comes the dreaded taxman. Working on the IRS taxes is also a perplexing and very time consuming, but important process. I think last year I must have spent about sixty hours on it and hope to do it in forty hours this year.
I'm getting re-geared up this Saturday afternoon to be back at work on Monday after an extended holiday, that I desperately needed. Didn't plan it that way, just got to the end of the year and had a lot of vacation time built up. 2012 was a very busy and hectic year. Of course, for sales once mid-November hits and starting the week of Thanksgiving in the USA,the majority of the companies have turned their attention to the holidays. So, it is an ideal time for sales to take a respite.
But, there is a lesson in all of this in that Synchro ERP closed out the year with yet another sale on the 31st of December! So, just because things tend to slow down doesn't mean that everything comes to a screeching halt.
2013 will be another record breaking year for Synchro ERP with many exhibitions, shows, and meetings planned. I start off in just a short time by going to the Texas Chapter of the AFS meeting in Houston in a few short weeks. Of course, 2013 will also be the huge CastExpo event in St. Louis.
In a short time, I will also be working with our newest employee Daniel out of Brazil. He will be visiting the Texas office first and attending the AFS Texas meeting with me, then on over to work with Lee for a week, then back to Brazil. After a short rest, Daniel will be meeting up with the implementation crew for a meeting down south of the border in Mexico.
Welcome aboard Daniel!
Well, until next time, see you on down the road.
Shane Allen
Head of Synchro ERP North American Operations
