Derek Neiding has been with Razorleaf, a vendor-neutral PLM software provider, since its founding. He has held a variety of roles in Razorleaf’s PLM, SharePoint and ERP businesses. Over the course of his career, Derek has been tapped by the company’s software-vendor partners as a contract developer of core technologies, with his work eventually included in some of their end products. Derek oversees the creation of proposals and RFP responses, ensuring that projects are scoped accurately and that sales and service-delivery teams are aligned. Currently, Derek serves as Vice President of Sales, where he is responsible for Razorleaf’s growth and expansion of its products and services in key markets.
As the pendulum swings from past decades of customized PLM to a far more flexible, highly-configured version, organizations need to borrow a page from modern software development and embrace automated testing as part of routine deployment.
