More About Us
Who is Dan?
As the owner of Signal Peak Consulting, Dan Swiers draws upon knowledge gained from 30 years in the financial, accounting, manufacturing and software/technology sectors, including over 20 years working in the SYSPRO environment specifically, to provide expert guidance and assistance in all areas of SYSPRO ERP implementation, custom applications, financial reporting, shipping solutions, warehouse management and process improvement, primarily to small businesses centered around manufacturing and distribution.
Dan’s career path began with work as a CPA doing audit and tax, then branched into Network Administration for accounting firms. In past years, Dan has worked as Controller for a personal health and safety electronics manufacturer, and Director of Finance for a national food corporation, but ultimately gravitated into ERP as his primary passion. He became Senior Implementation Consultant for SYSPRO USA, where he worked for a number of years before going independent with Signal Peak Consulting. Dan appreciates the ability to run a smaller, simpler operation, so as to provide a more personalized level of service, given his specialty centers largely on the more granular capabilities of SYSPRO – capabilities that can take a company's workflow from "efficient" to "extraordinary," but whose complexities require a more intimate consulting arrangement in order to pinpoint those “perfect solutions waiting to happen.” His depth of understanding of SYSPRO is a league of its own, and we're excited to be in a position to fully tap this vast knowledge base for the benefit of our customers.
Who is Evamarie?
Evamarie Pilipuf has over 30 years’ experience in those behind-the-scenes functions that keep projects, departments and businesses running smoothly and efficiently – and customers serviced enthusiastically. She has worked both in a support capacity and as front-line expert herself, giving hundreds of classes and workshops in her field of expertise, before determining her work in ERP services to be the best use of her culminated skillset.
Evamarie's career began as a subcontractor at Kraft Foods corporate headquarters, where her work took her to multiple departments, including Supply Chain, Purchasing, Executive, Marketing and Sales Training, fulfilling requests ranging from complex Excel spreadsheets and visually compelling PowerPoint presentations to schedule management and conference organization. Evamarie has also authored books and produced instructional videos, owing to her exceptional writing ability and ease of explaining complicated topics in a way that is easily understood and interesting. Eventually she opened and operated her own business, The Flexibility Coach, for 15 years, which included hands-on private coaching as well as group classes and corporate seminars, before migrating back into the office environment, joining SYSPRO USA, where she provided services in project management, implementation scheduling, training documentation, and tech support intake analysis. She joined Signal Peak Consulting in December 2015, and has been filling her roles in primary customer communications, schedule organization and project management, and day-to-day office operations ever since.
