QAD's software enables manufacturing and distribution companies to track and control every aspect of their business. Since founding QAD in 1979 at the age of 25, Lopker has been the company's technology visionary. Later this year QAD will extend the use of its object-oriented framework when it announces a new product family designed to support global supply chain management requirements. In 1995 Lopker established QAD's 2006 Project, which offers an introduction to the Internet to upper-grade students from all the elementary schools in the Santa Barbara South Coast area. In some other industries that have more traditional ways of operating it's sometimes hard for a woman to make headway.
High technology is fast moving and fast growing - nothing is set in concrete.
I'm delighted to be part of an effort that helps women to be more successful in their careers and make a greater contribution to the success of their companies. All rights reserved.
