The experience

Houpt was hired by DataBank to help secure and accelerate the expansion of the organization. To get there, he planned to implement new intrusion prevention systems, while keeping costs in check. When device issues got in his way, Norm Barrientez, an accomplished seller and a seven-year Trender, stepped in to eliminate the obstacles.

Norm understood my internal predicament and the impact on our customers. He immediately brought in an entire team to help solve the problem – and he took care of the issue.”
