I had a project where I was working with a manufacturer's website that contained a bunch of data which I needed to access and get into a "useable" format. I happened to mention it to Erin at SBT and he told me that he could easily "write a script" that would pull the necessary information I needed and extract into a useable excel/CSV format where I could edit and fine tune (in lieu of the current process where I was copying and pasting from the website or a PDF). Within a matter of hours he sent me the file--saving me countless hours, days even months of pulling 10's of thousands of lines of data in the manual fashion I was attempting. From here on out, I'm going to make sure to consult with Erin for my database or technology needs in the interest of saving time and money. He allowed me to work smarter, not harder. Thanks Erin!
