The week of September 21, 2017 found Elisabeth Schwarz and Beat Münch from Treehouse Software’s German partner, B.O.S. Software Service und Vertrieb GmbH paying us a visit.
B.O.S. stands for Better Operative Solutions. B.O.S. originally developed and distributed software that made 3270 applications more user friendly before focusing on Enterprise Data and Application Integration with Treehouse-marketed tcACCESS and tcVISION – Direct Data Access and Data Synchronization / Replication / Exchange / Migration.
While Elisabeth and Beat were in town, we decided to have the entire Treehouse staff come in to Pittsburgh headquarters as well. The week was a very productive one, with Treehouse and B.O.S. staff having meetings on many new product initiatives and current customer developments.

Of course, there can’t be a get-together at the Treehouse without some fun, and Michael Szakach, Treehouse Marketing Consultant and Event Organizer saw to it that our guests and staff enjoyed visiting some of Pittsburgh’s more unusual and fun attractions, in addition to a very nice night out with great food and conversation!
The Treehouse caravan brought everyone to downtown Pittsburgh to visit Bicycle Heaven Museum, Randyland, The Mattress Factory Art Gallery, and Johnny Angel’s Ginchy Stuff and Music Museum.

Johnny Angel’s Ginchy Stuff and Music Museum

From autographed pictures to memorabilia, he has it all at Johhny Angel’s Ginchy Stuff. Johnny has what you thought you had forgotten about – from pennants to pictures, and 45s to 78s, he has it all!
The last full evening, Emilie and George Szakach invited all 24 staff and visitors to dinner at one of our local favorite restaurants, called Willow.
Overall, everyone had a very productive and fun week. We look forward to continued success with our friends from B.O.S., and of course, more visits!
