Fisher Technology is excited to announce the latest member of our team, Rick Moore. Joining the company as a Senior Consultant, Rick carries over 30 years’ worth of experience in software, technology, and automation. Before joining our team, Rick worked client side for several past consulting clients in positions including IT Director, CFO and COO. Prior to that, he worked in both Sales and Consulting with resellers in the Sage and Microsoft Dynamics channels.
Early in his career, Rick focused on Sales and Marketing, working in engineered sales. In that role, he recognized a need and began automating processes, ultimately writing most of the software used in the company.
Two subsequent job changes also led Rick back into automation, ultimately prompting a friend in the software industry to persuade him to work with him selling Great Plains (Now Dynamics).
Over time and as the software market matured, Rick transitioned from focusing on ERP and Accounting to a full-time focus on CRM. Fifteen years later, a few hundred clients and many lasting relationships, a favorite client and CFO offered Rick an opportunity to take on the role of IT Director.
Rick automated and integrated over 200 processes for the company, primarily using BPA Platform (formerly Task Centre), which he had originally sold to them. In his most recent position as COO for another long-term favorite client, he continued relying on BPA Platform to automate processes, provide business driving knowledge, and improve results. His work proved instrumental in helping to position the company for acquisition. Having completed that transaction, Rick is again enjoying work with BPA Platform, looking at innovative ways to bring it to new markets!
Rick’s career has been dedicated to solving business complexities by creating workable, effective solutions for a multitude of ERP and CRM implementations. Collaborating with clients, Rick quickly discovers the need and delivers value to their business through the BPA Platform. This results in providing businesses with the driving tools they need to succeed.
Rick believes his most important professional asset is the ability to adapt his skills to suit the needs of his clients. He has proven his ability to recognize and implement Business Process Automation (BPA) for past clients, demonstrating the versatility and flexibility of the platform for almost any business software. Rick’s experience will be a tremendous benefit to Fisher’s customers and clients. We welcome him to the team and look forward to his contributions.

When your business uses different tools and softwares that don't communicate, critical information can get lost and workflows can break down. This blog explores how Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solves this problem by connecting your essential business applications. We'll cover why iPaaS is the best choice to help businesses overcome common challenges, the key benefits of implementing an integration platform, and a look at BPA Platform's specific iPaaS capabilities. Keep on reading to discover how the right integration strategy can transform scattered data into a powerful, unified business resource. Why iPaaS? Data visibility across an organization is crucial for improving efficiency, seizing new opportunities, and identifying potential threats. In the past, businesses operated within a single system, but today, the vast array of available software has led different departments to adopt applications tailored to their specific needs. While these tools enhance departmental efficiency, they also contribute to data silos, where critical information is stored in separate locations. This fragmentation can disrupt sales and accounting processes, hinder collaboration, create inefficiencies, and increase the risk of data errors. Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) provides a cloud-based solution that seamlessly connects, automates, and manages applications, systems, and data across business environments. By replacing traditional middleware with a standardized approach, iPaaS delivers cost-effective integration capabilities. How does iPaaS work? iPaaS is a cloud integration platform that creates a centralized ecosystem for managing data workflows. The platform offers pre-built connectors and automation tools that seamlessly link applications, services, and databases. With iPaaS, businesses gain a unified view of their integration landscape, allowing them to control and modify data flows across their infrastructure. As organisations grow, iPaaS scales effortlessly; new systems and services can be connected without significant cost, and custom functionality can be implemented to meet evolving business needs. The Advantages of iPaaS Reduced costs: Saves costs by automating integrations, reducing manual processes, and improving operational efficiency, which minimizes IT expenses and resource allocation. Reduced resources: Reduce the amount of time and number of personnel concentrating on system integration and data migration. Improved scalability: Easily add new applications and tweak business processes as the business grows. Centralised management: Once central ecosystem to manage data, integrations, processes, and workflows. Improved decision making: With access to real-time data across an organisation, employees and management can make better decisions to help improve efficiencies. ROI: iPaaS can help businesses drive company revenue and go to market quicker. BPA Platform’s iPaaS Solution BPA Platform’s iPaaS tool capabilities include: Drag and drop integration between cloud-based and on-premises systems and applications so that system integration steps are visually represented within a wider automated process. Innovative transformation functions that can be dragged onto the mapping area to change the data between inputs and outputs. RESTful web service integration by removing the need for bespoke development. SOAP web services integration Support OData and SData services Transform Your Business Integration Strategy with iPaaS As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of digital transformation, iPaaS solutions stand out as essential tools for maintaining competitive advantage. By breaking down data silos and creating seamless connections between applications, iPaaS empowers organizations to harness the full potential of their data. The result is not just improved operational efficiency, but also enhanced agility to respond to market changes, better customer experiences through integrated data flows, and ultimately, accelerated business growth.

Imagine this: your sales team closes a deal, but the customer data doesn't reach your CRM in time. Or worse, your inventory system fails to update immediately after an online purchase, leading to overselling. These scenarios can spell disaster for businesses striving to deliver seamless operations and exceptional customer experiences. This is where data synchronization becomes a game-changer. This blog explores the importance of data synchronization, how BPA platform facilitates it, and the benefits it unlocks for businesses looking to operate more efficiently and grow. If improving your processes and staying competitive are your top goals, this is for you! The Importance of Data Synchronization Businesses today run on data—customer information, inventory details, financial transactions, and more. But having data isn’t enough; it must move across systems to empower decision-making and ensure operations flow smoothly. Without data synchronization, businesses face challenges like: Delayed decision-making due to outdated or incomplete data Inefficient processes , with systems unable to “talk to each other” Customer frustration caused by errors like incorrect stock availability or billing Take this as an example: A retail business might have separate systems for online orders, in-store sales, and warehouse inventory. If these systems don’t sync, customers might order an item online, only to be told it’s out of stock later—a poor customer experience that can negatively impact your business. But how can you achieve this synchronization without overhauling your entire tech stack? That’s where BPA platform comes in. Understanding the Role of BPA Platform BPA platform is a robust solution designed to streamline and automate repetitive tasks, including data synchronization between disparate systems. It serves as the glue that connects your software applications and ensures they exchange information seamlessly. Here’s how a BPA platform enhances data synchronization: Unified Integration : BPA platform connects various software systems—CRMs, inventory tools, ERPs, and more—so they exchange updated information without manual intervention. Event-driven Processes : BPA platform has event-triggered synchronization, meaning data updates whenever an action occurs (e.g., a customer places an order). Scalability : BPA platform can handle synchronization needs no matter how large your data volumes grow, making it ideal for scaling businesses. Benefits of Data Synchronization with BPA Platform Now that you understand the importance of data synchronization using BPA platform, let's explore the significant benefits it can provide. 1. Improved Operational Efficiency Data synchronization saves countless hours of manual work by automating the process of transferring data between systems. This reduces redundancies and allows employees to focus on high-impact tasks rather than administrative ones. With everything moving in sync, the outcomes are faster processes and smoother operations. 2. Better Decision-making Business leaders make critical decisions daily, and outdated or incomplete data can compromise these judgments. Synchronization ensures stakeholders have access to up-to-date data at all times. When everyone operates with the same, accurate data in hand, decision-making becomes faster and more precise. 3. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction Customers today expect flawless experiences across all touchpoints. Real-time synchronization ensures they aren’t disappointed by errors such as stock issues or pricing inconsistencies. A positive customer experience builds trust, loyalty, and brand advocacy. 4. Reduced Errors and Costs Manual data entry and delayed updates come with the risk of errors—mistyped numbers, mismatched records, and conflicting updates, to name a few. These errors can lead to costly setbacks. By automating synchronization with BPA platform, businesses significantly reduce these risks while saving money. A Pathway to Business Efficiency Data synchronization facilitated by tools like BPA platform, is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. Businesses that implement this technology experience enhanced operational efficiency, improved decision-making, and happier customers, all while setting the stage for future growth. If achieving these results is your goal, there’s never been a better time to start optimizing the processes behind your business. Don’t leave your success up to chance—explore how BPA platform can transform your data management processes for good. Contact us today to discover how we can help drive your business forward!
