According to Michael Reid (Chief Operating Officer), "SmartSimple is all about innovation for everyone: our clients, our communities and our staff.  When someone discovers a new, innovative way of using the platform that benefits all, that person will receive the SmartSimple Innovation Award."

This award is given on an occasional basis by Michael and Keith Yau (Chief Technical Officer).  Anyone in the company or the community can nominate staff member(s) for this award, but the innovation must meet the following criteria:

  • Can only use existing functionality and does not require system enhancements.
  • Must have the potential to benefit the entire customer community across all vertical markets.

Brian received the award for his stellar work on the PDF Parser, which is capable of generating offline fillable PDFs to populate data in a SmartSimple system. You can find out more about Brian's improvements to the PDF Parser with our video below:
