Kendall Ziebarth

July’s featured MACC employee is Kendall Ziebarth. He works as a Technical Business Analyst-AI in our Information Services department. While Kendall has a long title, the explanation of what he does is pretty short. He makes it easier for our clients to do their job. Kendall manages application interface projects. Once these projects are complete, service provisioning is automated in our clients’ offices. This means less work for clients and quicker service installs for their customers.
