Getting to Know Us

Thanksgiving is the time of year where we all reflect on what we are most grateful for.  Our customers come immediately to mind when we focus on gratitude. As always, thank you for your support, feedback and encouragement!…

Recently I used one of the best benefits I receive as a Quadrant Software employee, a paid volunteer day. I followed my coworker Heather Botelho’s lead and went to the Taunton Animal Shelter.

Six Quadrant Software employees recently attended the Monday afternoon Red Sox game against the Baltimore Orioles. I was lucky enough to be in that group.  The seats were awesome. Foul balls were hit near us a few times….

One of my favorite benefits I receive as a Quadrant Software employee is a volunteer day. We are given one day a year to volunteer for an organization of our choice. This year I chose to volunteer at the Taunton Animal Shelter.

Last weekend Hurricane Irene struck our area with brute force. Trees down, power is out, and a lot of cleanup is ahead of us, but thankfully our office in Mansfield, MA was spared. My house… not so much. I sit here at work, happy to have the internet at my fingertips, thinking about what my workday would be like if we had no power in the office. How would orders be processed? How would replacement boxes be sent? How would tech support calls be answered?

So today, I was sitting at my desk and a customer called in and said, “What is the easiest way to send a fax?” I thought to myself and kind of chuckled at the days when I first started working and would print out the page I wanted to fax, walk to the end of the building that the shared printer was at.

Many people who grow up in a competitive environment understand the value and effectiveness of attaining a common goal with a team. Regardless of wins and losses, all can agree that these goals could not have been met alone. Here at Quadrant Software, there is not one person on the team that does not contribute to meeting our goals.

Be The Program Years ago I was hired right out of the Air Force by an MRP software company. I was one of 12 in an RPG training program taught on site by an employee with RPG development…

Webster defines green as many things including pleasantly alluring, fresh and new, and tending to preserve environmental quality. Quadrant Software’s document creation and delivery solutions for IBM i allows companies to go green, eliminating the need for paper and reducing a companies overall carbon footprint. There is another meaning for ‘green’ that stands out to me… not yet matured or experienced, learning, new to a subject. That describes my position at Quadrant Software now as a Technical Support Representative.

I went through my mail yesterday (probably about 10 postcards and envelopes) only to notice that all of it was junk. There wasn’t one piece of mail that didn’t go into the trash. How much of your mail…
