Our dynamic team of ERP and technology experts is a group of people that is committed to serving every unique client through collaboration and innovation. We have been a growing technology services company for over 28 years, but at The Answer Company, we know that our success depends on people, both inside and outside our organization. Our People First culture is upheld in our relationship with our customers’ people, our community’s people, and of course, our own people.
We measure the success of our consulting services and solution implementations by the success of our clients. Therefore, the goals of our customers become our goals. We work side-by-side with our clients to build solutions that will not only drive efficiency, growth, and innovation, but also better meet the needs of our customers’ customers.
Giving back to the community has been an integral part of The Answer Company since our founding in 1994. Our Answering The Call program consists of quarterly company fundraising or volunteer initiatives, and individual-led initiatives that are supported by the company. Employee fundraising missions are announced internally and donation amounts are matched by the company. Every employee gets four paid days off per year to volunteer for something of their choice.
Last but not least, is our own people. The Answer Company team is diverse, creative, hardworking, and upholds the highest standards of respect and transparency within all departments. We foster a growth-centric workplace, where employee learning and passion always comes first. There is plentiful opportunity for employees to pursue new training, certifications, self-driven projects, and long-term growth in the company. At the root of it all, we celebrate our employees and always ensure to put employee happiness and health at the forefront.
