Leadership

 Rod Bergl - President/CEO Rod Bergl - President/CEO

Rod started his career as an architect, spending several years working on the design of Central Milton Keynes, the business center of a new city in England.  He emigrated to the US in the ’80s, working for two major architectural firms (SOM and DMJM) on commercial and residential applications and researching the early use of computer-aided design systems for architectural and engineering applications.  He then co-founded Coffman Technologies, a consulting firm specializing in developing and applying CAD technology for the utility industry, becoming a leader in this field.

He co-founded a manufacturing and distribution company selling furniture and accessories to companies such as Crate and Barrel, Container Store and Target. As Executive Vice President of Finance and Information Systems, he developed an integrated forecasting application that managed the company’s operations from demand forecasting and inventory replenishment to revenue and cash flow forecasting.  In 1995 he used this experience to co-found ICS Business Systems Group (precursor to the Sikich ERP Solutions Group), specializing in implementing and developing solutions based on Dynamics GP.  During this period, he worked on a wide variety of projects, including a multi-year customization of GP to handle the US steel importing operations of Arcelor Mittal, a global steel mining and manufacturing company, and developing the first database auditor module for Dynamics GP.

In 2007 he merged ICS with Alba Spectrum, where he is currently CEO with overall responsibility for application design and customer satisfaction.  He has guided customization projects ranging from $5,000 to over $1 million and developing Alba’s financial and distribution applications for Dynamics GP, including the first workflow system designed to work with GP.  During this period, Alba has grown to become the leading developer of customized solutions for Dynamics GP.

Rod retains his interest in architecture and uses the design skills developed during his architectural career to assisting Alba’s clients in analyzing, visualizing and developing ERP applications.
