“We will make ONEsite, a Talent Hub”, says Bob Crull, CEO
“We recently did an employee session aimed at aligning employee personal goals with business goals. Universally, employees would like to work remote and improve their lifestyle while at the same time work on exciting and challenging technical projects. We made the decision to eliminate all offices and are working on using technology to streamline processes and communication. We will still have quarterly face to face meetings for planning and team building sessions. The costs savings gained by eliminating office space and moving all our servers and applications to the cloud is significant. We will use this money to invest in improving the application and growing the business.”

“Personally as the CEO, I moved to a small town in Southern Oklahoma. I live on the golf course. My day is very efficient. I can get up in the morning and work then go for a run, work some more, play a quick 9 holes of golf at lunch and work again. I don’t drive anywhere that takes over 10 minutes. I would like to see everyone in the company living a similar lifestyle. I find that the time working is much more productive and efficient. We are using and IP based phone system and with GoToMeeting and skype, communication is much more efficient and productive.”
