Greg Budny’s Expertise to Bolster IOS’s Mission of Delivering Integrated and Streamlined Solutions
November 12, 2024 – Integrated Openings Solutions (IOS) is thrilled to announce the addition of Greg Budny as Systems Integration Specialist. Greg brings over two decades of industry experience, a wealth of knowledge in operational systems, and a track record of leadership in the Division 8 and systems integration space. His expertise will be pivotal as IOS continues to enhance its commitment to delivering seamless, integrated solutions across locations and service lines.
Greg’s career has been marked by a deep understanding of both financial and operational systems in the construction industry. After beginning his career with two general contractors, Greg founded and successfully operated his own construction business, honing his skills in project management and system optimization. Following a move to North Carolina, Greg took on a role as Project Manager in the National Sales Division at Pleasants Hardware Company, where he became instrumental in evaluating and implementing Division 8 software solutions.
In 2006, Greg had the opportunity to collaborate closely with Comsense, working alongside its founder Wayne Teas, and became the first individual outside of Comsense to preview their transformative software. Greg played a critical role in implementing Comsense’s software, now known as Comsense Opening Suite, across various divisions, significantly enhancing their operational efficiencies. For the past 16+ years, he served as Senior Business Consultant at Comsense, assisting numerous clients, including IOS, in optimizing software integration, best practices, and training.
Reflecting on the significance of this strategic addition, Joe Lopez, CEO of IOS, said, “From the very beginning, Nick and I have been challenged with the question of whether or not to integrate. As you maintain and grow a collaborative culture, you learn that integration is critical and it enhances flexibility for local market leaders to win every day. This move to bolster our systems integration team, especially with the addition of an industry leader like Greg Budny, embodies our desire to provide seamless experiences for our teammates, customers, and vendors alike. It confirms our intention to keep growing the integration of complex capabilities within our operating systems and create bandwidth for the addition of new locations onto the IOS platform.”
Nick McCarty, President of IOS, shared his excitement about Greg joining the team: “We have worked with Greg Budny throughout our years in the industry. The work in front of us is full of challenges and demands intelligent and well-rounded leaders to support a strategy that brings existing core competent products and services to life, while assuring that we have visibility and pathways to incorporate new capabilities into ‘one-stop-shop’ types of transactions in order to make our customers’ lives easier. Greg is a great addition to our team and we are fortunate to have him.”
Greg’s addition to the IOS team represents a commitment to innovation, integration, and growth, as the company continues to streamline operations and enhance its service offerings. His experience and insights will be invaluable in supporting IOS’s mission to deliver comprehensive, integrated solutions for clients across markets.
