Meet the Team

Since starting as a software partner for Great Plains, we have grown by leaps and bounds over the years. We handpicked each of our team members for their specialty and real-world experience. While everyone has a distinct role to fill, they are flexible in finding creative solutions to even the most complex problems. We are proud to introduce to you our team members, whose single purpose is to help you meet your needs and become the best organization you can be.

  • As the founder of Express, Iris appreciates that it isn’t about technology – it’s about the people. It has been the journey one can only hope for – fulfilling work, great clients who appreciate us, and co-workers you are proud to have on your team.

    Our clients’ comfort and excitement for new tools is what we strive to support. It is because of this dedication that we are celebrating our 33rd anniversary and looking forward to welcoming many more.
