As technology rapidly advances to new forms of electronic communication, there are bound to be those that take the advancements for granted and misuse the technology. For this reason, the United States judicial system is hard at work trying to keep up with the changing landscape of technology crimes. Crimes can range from simple spyware viruses and identity theft schemes, to corporate negligence and sexual harassment charges. Businesses are at risk more than ever of being caught in legal disputes over inappropriate or even criminal technology usage on or off the job. With an array of communication mediums to monitor, including social media websites, instant messaging, e-mail, etc.; it is now of the upmost importance to pay special attention to protecting your business from possible judiciary action.

What do your overall duties consist of here at Quest?
First and foremost, I make sure that our clients are well cared for in
the afternoons. The majority of my duties consist of keeping the
building in tip top shape and running smoothly. With the assistance of
my set-up staff, we handle of all room and equipment sets for each
meeting overnight so when the client arrives in the morning everything
is ready to go.
What part do you play in the customer experience?
I am the behind the scenes kind of guy. I am like the kid in the school
play working the stage lights; I take care of the things that are mostly
out of the public eye. My role in the customer experience is
concentrating on keeping the facility and meeting space in the best
possible condition for our clients.
