Dayton companies such as DP&L, Heidelberg Distributing, and PNC Bank gathered in September to discuss how critical IT is in their growth strategy. Hosted by CDO Technologies at Fifth Third Field, the event featured keynote speaker and UD Men’s Basketball Coach, Brian Gregory. Coach Gregory spoke about the importance of teamwork, trust, and partnership.
Partnership is something that CDO Technologies and the Dragons have in common. Besides being a corporate sponsor of the Reds’ Single-A team, CDO is also the official IT service provider for the club.
CDO Technologies, Inc. is a full-service systems integrator that provides IT consulting and support to markets such as the US government, healthcare, aviation, supply chain, warehousing, and corporations of all sizes. The company’s fundamental focus on people, technology, and results has driven their success as the premiere and trustworthy provider of business solutions and IT for the greater Dayton and Cincinnati area.
The luncheon served as an opportunity for business leaders to network in order to build stronger connections within Dayton’s local business community. Some of the attendees included the City of Dayton, City of Springboro, PNC Bank, the Coolidge Wall Legal Professional Association, Muñoz Brands, Heidelberg Distributing, Dayton Power and Light, and UBS.
The highlight of the event was Coach Brian Gregory’s speech that demonstrated the importance of building teamwork through trust and partnership. According to Coach Gregory, local business and community leaders make Dayton a truly special place. Business relationships, much like successful basketball teams, are built upon utilizing skilled individuals you can trust.
People only trust a product or service when they trust the people selling it; this is true for technology companies and basketball recruiters alike. The University of Dayton sets the bar high when it comes to player graduation rates- this fact, along with Coach Gregory’s reputation of credibility and honesty, allows them to recruit top players. Similarly, CDO’s IT partnership with local businesses and municipalities (ITRUST) focuses on the unique skills and capabilities of their people and leverages them to build a lasting partnership.
“Only when we understand how our customers operate on a day-to-day basis can we begin to make meaningful suggestions and impact positive change for their organization,” said CDO IT Consultant Matt Oakes.
