Denise Holbrook recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with the Imaging Office Systems family and brings the discipline and analytical mind of an archer to her role as controller and vice president of finance.

In this interview, I enjoyed getting to hear her thoughts on archery as a metaphor for finance, the intersection of finance and technology, and a few other interesting tidbits. 

As we head into the fall season, I thought it’d be a good time to check in with Imaging Office Systems president Brian Kopack. We talked about trends in information management technology that have emerged during the pandemic, best ways to utilize cloud computing technology, and the sport of running. Yes, running!  

Last January, Brian was named the head coach of the cross-country team at Delphos St. John’s High School in Ohio. It won’t be a major transition. Kopack—a former competitor on the Butler University cross country team—was already involved as an assistant coach, along with his wife Amy, and he has two kids on the team. However, what might have been new for Kopack was having me ask him to draw comparisons between the sport of running and running a business—but I’m glad I did. What he had to say was really thought-provoking.

In this second installment from our interview with Aaron Sarber, the director of our Professional Services Group at Imaging Office Systems, we talk about the future of information management, best practices for implementation and execution of new systems, what surprises him, what surprises our customers, what makes his job easy or hard, and what he thinks are the most valuable elements of the services we provide to our customers. 

Aaron Sarber manages our Professional Services Group here at Imaging Office Systems, and he has been with us long enough to have witnessed a major evolution in information management technology and content services solutions. I thought it would be a valuable exercise for our blog readers to sit down with him and get his perspective, in a simple question-and-answer format, on a variety of topics and issues related his group's role in building solutions for our customers.
