The duo discuss the past , present and future of a company focused on digital transformation , industryleading products and staying ahead of the curve .

Steinebrunner says : “ The key is to evolve to where the market is going . Had we stayed still , we probably wouldn ’ t be here today , but our ability to be nimble and train our team members to be flexible with regard to the market and technology , and to build products the market desires , has allowed us to grow with the market .”
