The merger will significantly strengthen the breadth and depth of the technical consulting services that can now be utilized across all of Improving’s markets.

“We are thrilled with the Improving merger,” states Jason W. Taylor, President of Code Authority. “After being introduced to the Improving brand by their Dallas PresidentDavid O’Hara, I was impressed by their company values and their commitment to clients, team and partners. Since that time, it’s been a wonderful collaborative relationship through partnering on CodeLaunch. I am grateful to the Code Authority family and to John Anderson for his partnership in building this company with me over the years.”
