One Step Data Expanding Technical Operations in New York

One Step Data, the world's largest VAR (value added reseller) for Retail Pro, continues to expand its technical staff on the East Coast. Unlike many software manufactures, One Step Data puts equal emphasis on someones retail background as well as on their technical background, especially with management positions.

(PRWEB) April 5, 2004 --Retail Management and POS Software can be a fairly complicated thing to learn, understand and use. With the extremely high rates of employee turnover that many retailers deal with today, this can be a real problem.

One Step Data, celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, understands this problem. To remedy this problem the technical, management, and sales staff that deal with the day to day needs of clients at One Step Data are themselves ex-retailers. One Step is able to pull from over 300 years of combined Retail experience when working with clients.

An example is Peter Pishko the Director of Technical Services for New York. Peter, a native of New York State, grew up in Albany and got involved in the Retail industry while in college in 1984. After a career with Jordan Marsh Dept. Stores (later Macys), Peter moved to New York City to open the flagship store for Bed Bath & Beyond in 1992. He then worked as a district manager for several specialty retailers before finding One Step Data in September of 2001.

I think one of the greatest things about One Step Data is that because of our actual retail experience we can talk to a retailer on their level and not just from a high tech perspective" said Peter. This is a tremendous benefit for the retailer because of the solutions that we can create together based on their specific needs."

One Step Data has also hired a Certified Hardware Technician and another System Consultant to serve clients in the New York area as well as a third Certified Technician who will be moving to the New York office after completing his apprenticeships on the west coast.

This is a very exciting time for us in New York", said Peter. On top of the full support resources of the Los Angeles offices and the live online customer support that a client can initiate through our website, we are seeing some of our investment in personnel here locally pay off both in training and implementation with our clients."

One Step Data plans to continue hiring in the New York area to support its growing client base on the east coast.
