Ron Draganowski’s Summary

A passion for efficiency...

In college I majored in accounting but took technology courses as all of my electives. I find the combination very helpful now in my career as I'm always bridging the gap between accounting and IT business solutions.

My current role includes designing solutions for Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) using the Developer Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics GP and other Microsoft Technologies. I also work closely with our Microsoft Dynamics CRM team on implementations that affect both of these solutions. I use these in coordination with other solutions and custom-built solutions to provide maximum ROI to our clients.
