In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Cloud Transformation Executive of Western Computer, Ryan Pollyniak. Ryan Pollyniak represents Western Computer, a company that has carved a niche for itself as a Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM implementation partner. They specialize in tailoring Microsoft solutions to fit the unique needs of businesses, ensuring that technology serves the company, not the other way around.
