The Lighthouse IT Podcast

The Lighthouse IT Podcast - May 3rd, 2024

Welcome back to the Lighthouse IT Podcast! We have something a little different for you today. Last month, Matt had such a good conversation with our Operations Manager, Nicole, but that episode was so chock-full of great discussion that we had to break out this conversation into a part two! So, for this episode, we have the rest of their chat here for you to listen to! They go through process improvement, business operations, and a lot about a fantastic new system we are using internally, Odoo!
