Ottawa, Canada, May 4th 2021 - Ross Live 2021 kicked off earlier today with the broadcast of Episode One, and the first installment saw CEO David Ross in reflective mood, broadcasting from his office at the Ross Ottawa campus and noting that almost a year had passed since he was last in the building. Pondering the hardships we've all faced over the last twelve months, David sent his condolences to everyone who has suffered and lost loved ones during the pandemic, and paid tribute to the resilience and fortitude of Ross staff, customers and partners throughout this challenging period. He also commented on the remarkable innovation shown by the Ross R&D teams and looked forward to a brighter second half of 2021, ending with the hope that customers will be able to visit the new Ottawa Customer Experience Center very soon.
Following David, Ross Executive VP Jeff Moore interviewed Zach Wilkie (formerly President of Image Video) to discuss the acquisition of the company by Ross last year, and to consider the customer benefits of Ross adding Tally Systems to its solutions portfolio.
