  • Conduct technical workshops and training: Deliver customized training sessions to educate clients on the features and functionalities of the Pragma Platform and any custom solutions developed.

  • Champion client needs: Advocate for client needs within Pragma by gathering and sharing feedback, contributing to the product roadmap, and driving continuous improvement.
