A Diverse Portfolio on Innovative solutions
Nick’s roles and responsibilities include visualizing opportunities stemming from the markets and matching those opportunities with the right empowered people to get results. A prime example of this approach is demonstrated in the ongoing pandemic. With the advent of the public health crisis, the team of First Line was swift in recognizing the need for organizations and businesses to have a simple application that allows for COVID testing, tracing, and support. First Line introduced the Epass app which is straightforward and convenient to use and is now employed at various hospitals, restaurants, and other businesses that demanded an efficient scanning tool for employee and customer safety.
First Line offers a diverse portfolio of innovative solutions, and Epass is one example of the type of rapid deployment of solutions for organizations. This diverse portfolio of clients and projects is the companies’ strength as is the Fluent Agile Model to help organizations in their digital transformation processes. First Line also offers custom software development and provides bespoke solutions where standard, off-the-shelf software cannot compete.
“This diversity in our projects allows us to take the knowledge gained in one industry sector and creatively apply it to another to solve unique challenges.”
