Benefiting Customers Through Collaborative Excellence: A Fireside Chat

All businesses have had their challenges in responding to the turmoil of the past year. Highlight Technologies and their partner Audley Consulting Group were no exception. Despite a rapid scaling of a customer project paired with a major shift to work-from-home, their established partnership and collaboration style allowed the businesses to continue service without any pitfall.

The companies collaborated to employ over 1,000 new project team members, train and manage their day-to-day tasks, and meet customer goals seamlessly. Adam McNair and Jatinder Sehmi recount how the power of partnership enabled them to innovate and achieve extraordinary results in a fast-paced environment.
