About Richard
In 1990 I was founder of a startup document management, workflow, electronic forms, report distribution and business process company called RJS Software Systems.
I initially wrote or co-wrote all of our software products. My partner and I ran the business, grew it and sold the business in 2014 when he retired. I am an expert in most document management technologies as well as software development technologies.
For my day job I continue to spend time working with customers, sales, marketing, support and services teams to deliver top notch multi-platform Document Management, Process Automation and System Integration technology solutions. This includes meeting with customers to discuss pre-sales software and business requirements, educating customers and partners on our products, providing deal-closing software demonstrations and proofs of concept. I also host regular technology webinars and provide technology training and mentorship as needed.
After hours I am available to do general software consulting and design, mobile app development, web site or portal development, software presentations and education, business advising and mentoring.

Business Skills
