Who’s Dominique Bourgoin? Every team needs energy players. Those who carry their weight on the field, but also add an element of surprise and excitement off the field. When times are down, energy players rise and take the lead. When times are up, energy players maintain the momentum. Dominique is Dovico’s top energy player. As Dovico’s user-experience and interface designer, Dominique is one of the few people that I know who are genuinely made for…
When it comes to generations, much of the conversation is on the elusive “Millennials.” Well, I think its time to think more about “Gen Z.” The generation who’s grown up entirely in an internet world and, more particularly, a social media world. Enter Ryan Chitty. Welcome to the Gen Z club, Dovico! Who’s Ryan Chitty? Ryan is one of our newest teammates and is, by a few years, the youngest. Having just celebrated his 20th…
Imagine going on a trip, solo, to a foreign country, then hiking 110 kilometres (68 miles) over six days, sometimes in the middle of nowhere with strangers from all over the world. Our very courageous Wendy Leblanc did just that! Wendy is Dovico’s international product and implementation specialist, who you most likely have come into contact with if you did any timesheet business with us outside of North America. Where did Wendy go? Wendy took…

Who’s J-D Thibodeau? Well, let’s start with his name. His real name is Jean-Daniel Thibodeau. To some, his name can be quite a mouthful to say. But once you get it down, it flows so very well. And that’s J-D! His easy-going and accommodating nature flows so well for our clients and our team as a whole. When you give Dovico Support a call, drop an email, or send a quick online chat, it will…

Who’s Gerard Gallant? If I were asked to describe Gerard in one word, it would be “conviction.” I wanted to ensure that I was thinking of the right word so I searched for the definition of conviction, and it felt right. But by Google’s standards, the word “conviction” is outdated, so I searched for synonyms. The words that I found matched Gerard to a tee: confident, faith and principle. Gerard, our software architect and senior…
In today’s lightning-fast consumer-driven economy, organizational loyalty often takes a back seat to bigger paycheques and higher profits. Companies rise and fall; startups are sold. The average lifespan of an S&P Company used to be 60 years in the 1950s, now, it’s down to 20. CEO’s of startups are planning their exits before they even enter the front door. That’s not you; a quick exit doesn’t interest you. Your goal is to grow a business…
Who’s Carl Chase? Although Superman was not the first superhero character, he is what we define in a hero. An everyday person who rises to do unhuman-like tasks for the greater good of humanity. To anyone in Metropolis, Clark Kent was just a non-assuming journalist. But when the forces of darkness crept over their city, the red cape came on, and Superman prevailed. At Dovico, we’re grateful to have our own Superman, but we call…
