"RegularGuy"Brandon Gabert is Information Systems Manager for Guardian Chemcials Inc, a chemical manufacturer in Western Canada and was the onsite lead for implementing Sage X3. When asked to oversee the implementation, Brandon had a computer background but no accounting experience. Undeterred, he took night classes to get up to speed while the project was being executed. A real challenge to juggle both the implementation and school, he credits the support of his wife, Kerri, with helping him do it—an accomplishment that gave him the same appreciation and passion for accounting as he’s always had for computers. In the years following the implementation, Brandon continued to improve the company’s processes by taking advantage of the high configurability of Sage X3 as a problem-solving tool as well as taking additional accounting courses. Brandon relocated to Houston, Texas, where he joined NexTec Group as a Sage Certified X3 consultant but has since returned to Canada and rejoined Guardian Chemicals in March 2017. In his free time, Brandon enjoys being a tech enthusiast, flying RC planes and spending time with his wife and their two small children, Lucas and Lauren. |
