I was hired in 1995 as a Customer Support Representative and promoted to CEO in 2002.  It has been amazing to witness the many changes and unique challenges presented to school districts.  I am very proud of our talented team of professionals that work hard every day to develop, market, train, and support our specialized products and deliver a truly unlimited service for our customers.

Dwight Seigenthaler

CFO

I was hired by Software Unlimited in January, 2001 after 31 years in retail.  I have witnessed the many changes to the School Accounting System, as I’m frequently an early “beta customer” for our Development team.  I was one of the first to test the upgrades through two versions of the system as well as our cloud offering.  I always look forward to our new software updates that makes my job more efficient and reporting better.
