    Learnings from Africa

    ByJoseph Paris February 28, 2023February 18, 2026

    It was the spring of 1995 and my firm (XONITEK) was one of the top implementers of Macola Software’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  We were the very top when it came to implementing in a manufacturing environment.  As such, I was invited to Macola’s summit to share my views on the future direction of…

    The Outliers Inn | (Re)Setting Attitudes, The Peter Principle, Golf, and more.

    ByXONITEK February 20, 2023September 29, 2025

    Another episode of The Outliers Inn with “The Beer Man” joining JP and Mule as co-co-host. Maybe he will become a regular co-co-host (he’s already an irregular regular guest here at The Outliers Inn.

    ByXONITEK February 1, 2023September 29, 2025
