End of Year Transition

Posted under Office News, People on October 31st, 2006 by Jeff

Almost three years ago PowerServe purchased Double-Dot.com. The transition went smoothly for our clients and, as anticipated, was a great move for both companies. PowerServe gained a strong graphic design department to compliment its highly talented software development staff. The result was affording our clients the best of both worlds – software and design. PowerServe has since grown to a full time staff of fourteen designers, programmers and support personnel. And we recently moved into a new building only a block away from our previous office.We wanted to let you know that Paul Francis, whom many of you know as Double-Dot’s founder and president and PowerServe’s business development director will be pursuing new opportunities at the end of this year. He’ll be transitioning his responsibilities to Dylan Bredengerd, our Project Manager of Design Services. Dylan has been with PowerServe for three years and has an excellent understanding of our products and services. Consider Dylan your new Account Manager and expect an email or phone call before the end of the year. In the meantime, feel free to contact him with any requests. He can be reached at (706) 826-1506 ext. 122 or dylan@powerserve.net.In the next two months Paul will be spending less time in the office but will still be available to help you through the end of the year. He can be reached via cell phone at (706) 294-9234 or email at paul@powerserve.net.As Paul’s tenure with PowerServe comes to an end, we’d like to pass on to you Paul’s and PowerServe’s best regards and appreciation and would like you to know how much we appreciate your business and your trust over the years. PowerServe looks forward to continuing to give you the same great service during and after this transition.
