Clients First knows their software, but they are also astute business people, and they really understand manufacturing and distribution in particular.

An important part of being a good reseller lies in the skill set of its consultants. The management and consulting teams at Clients First Business Solutions are true believers in the value of education and prove it by continually honing their knowledge and skill sets
We stay current on Microsoft Dynamics and Sage Software product releases and prove it by maintaining current certifications on these products. Microsoft and Sage alike develop these certification exams that test for not only competency, but also mastery of their software. When a new product or version is released, we study it, practice it, and then prove our knowledge through certification. In this way, our clients are assured that we possess the knowledge and skills that help us deliver the latest and greatest products.
Beyond the wide range of software certifications that we pursue and hold, we also embark on educational activities that improve our project management, communication skills, and team building. We do this because we believe that developing these “soft” skills is as important as our technical skill development. This approach brings balance to us individually and as a team.
We spend the time and money in education for our people because we know that the better we are as a group, the more value we can add for our clients. Let us show you how our approach to continuous education translates into a real benefit to you – our clients.

Gotham Sales is in the business of eliminating stress. It’s a company that specializes in warranties for all the appliances you buy for your home: refrigerators, dishwashers, television sets, personal computers, and even DVD players and portable stereos. Gotham sells these extended warranties to your local retailer. In addition, Gotham is a manufacturer’s representative for many well-known brands of consumer appliances, including Fedders and AESP Connectivity Products.
The Problem
Several years ago, most of the big appliance manufacturers switched their distribution strategies, to cut out the “middleman.” They started going through direct channels to retailers, eliminating the need for distributors and representatives who had been marketing their products for decades. Firms like Gotham found themselves out in the cold, with large payrolls and expensive mainframes that no longer made sense. Fortunately, Gotham had plenty of warranty work to keep a leaner, meaner business going strong. But the change in corporate direction required a rethinking of the company’s staffing and information systems. Due to layoffs of IS personnel, it suddenly became necessary for non-computer professionals to handle information management. Gotham Sales had been using MAS 90 on their UNIX system and they were very happy with it. But they were worried about how the software would function if they moved to networked PCs. Could they transfer files without a system failure or loss of data? Would MAS 90 be hard to learn on Windows? Would it be as reliable as their old system?
