ROBERT BERNHOFT became a full time employee at United in 1991 after serving as a part-time employee for the cooperative while attending Tarleton State University. Since then, he has played an integral role in developing and expanding the cooperative’s key information and telecommunications systems, all of which are essential to United’s everyday productivity and operational efficiency.
He leads a team of degreed and experienced technology professionals who have designed and today manage the cooperative’s integrated data processing systems in billing, accounting and mobile account management, as well as United’s telecommunications network and its entire suite of internet technology systems.
His peers suggest one of Mr. Bernhoft’s greatest talents is his ability to visualize and assess end user requirements and then design and deploy technology platforms that will help support those requisites. The cooperative’s efficiency, productivity and member accessibility that United has achieved through technology is largely owed to the accomplishments of Mr. Bernhoft and his IS&T team.
