When Dr.Michael Bertini bought Open Systems, Inc. in 1990 he formed a Partner Advisory Board of 12 key Open Systems Accounting Software partners from various regions of the United States. The purpose of the Partner Advisory Board is to meet frequently (every three to four months) with Open Systems’ Senior Management to provide feedback from the End-User community and other Open Systems Partners throughout the channel and to act as a sounding boarding to Open Systems’ Senior Management. Norm Wine, President of Alternative Business Systems was one of the original board members and is still an active council member today. Over the years the Partner Advisory Board name has been changed to Partner Council and the active members have been reduced to seven key OSAS and TRAVERSE partners.
The efforts of the Partner Council combined with Open Systems' willingness to think outside the box results in a win for OSAS® and TRAVERSE® clients because the software is built with features you both want and can use in the day to day operation of your businesses.
