We are at the forefront of cloud and mobility -- that's what we do internally. We have a cloud practice and a mobility practice that are both very strong. But, they are the technologies that enable this new consumer to have their data at any time, anyplace and on any device. It's an incredibly high-growth area for us.

Looking three years down the road, what will your firm look like?

We have grown twenty-two and a half times all organically. I think three years from now, we are going to be ever larger, and you will see further growth from us. In particular, our technologies will be stronger, we will have greater geographic reach and we will continue to be the leading technology solutions company; we are doing [it] where we continue to help customers drive both revenue and gain greater efficiency. Our vision is "service like no other" and "deep customer care and partnership." If we have that, we will continue to be wildly successful.

How has your management style changed over the past two years?

I would say that my and the Axispoint senior leadership style has gone from wearing a lot of hats and driving business to even a greater empowerment of the collective team. We are already a very nimble and unafraid of change organization -- that's instilled in our culture. But to be successful in an ever-changing technology environment -- the new consumer and the growth of cloud and mobility -- and meet the needs of the market, the team needs to be further empowered to be entrepreneurial and make decisions in a nimble way. We already have that platform, but I wanted to make sure the team has a greater level of empowerment. This was a big change that we have made over the last couple of years. It is beginning to pay off for us in spades and, I believe, will continue to pay off for us in our three-year strategy.
