Alan D. Christensen - President
As founder and president of CCC since 1977, Alan’s responsibilities vary widely. The majority of his time is spent on product development.

He enhances CCC’s existing products by adding software features to increase functionality and capabilities for customers. He also interacts directly with customers by assisting the Customer Resource Center as needed.
Alan sees his key contribution to customers as being able to look toward future products that will help them, even if these are several years down the road. He spends a lot of time listening to customers’ needs and analyzing emerging technologies to see what he can help develop.
Alan’s greatest pride is seeing their ideas turn into products, and seeing the customers excited about how much these products help them to better run their businesses.
