Within each project the challenges are different but the requirements to deliver quality is a constant that threads its way through all aspects of delivery. As an experienced Technical Consultant, you strive to keep a high standard of delivery from a technical perspective by also supporting the Project and Leadership team to work towards a common goal.
From the Clients perspective you are the face of Centric, whether the interaction is remote or on-site, the interaction between yourself and the client must always be professional.
Having empathy when working with customers provides you the ability to understand where they are coming from, whether C8 will replace their existing PLM system or being a new implementation.
