Bart de Roos
Sr. Functional Administrator
“One of the functional administrators said: 'I used to really take a few days to get a manual in Word right. Now it's just a matter of minutes — click, click, done”. When users tell that to colleagues, it sells itself. All I have to do is make the connection.”
