Our Team

Rick Schaffer
I founded Simpler Systems on the premise that technology should reflect our values. For over 30 years, I’ve been creating software that helps people see patterns, make connections, and share their insights.
I’ve been passionate about technology since the earliest days of personal computers. And with a degree in Business and hands-on experience in local government, I understand both the how and the why of great software design.

Travis Kimes
I'm drawn to the challenge of making complex systems understandable. I’ve had the privilege of designing and building software that not only solves technical problems, but also helps people interact with technology in new and meaningful ways.
My degree in Computer Science gives me a perspective on how to engineer quality software. But I see my true role to be building bridges between technology and the people it serves.

Keri Collins
With a background in business and information systems and years of experience in state and local government, I understand firsthand how complex software can make it challenging for people to get their work done.
By combining my knowledge of government administration and software project management, I not only help our clients implement the tools they need, but also provide the confidence and support to use them effectively.

Asia Warren
I am passionate about helping people understand themselves and each other. With a degree in Conflict Resolution and Leadership and a background in personal development, I’ve built a career helping individuals and teams discover their purpose, build trust, and collaborate better.
Whether I’m working with the Simpler team or one of our clients, my goal is to ensure that everyone feels connected, understood, and ready to do their best work together.

Our Software
Thousands of users across dozens of agencies rely on the Simpler Platform to engage more meaningfully with their work — generating useful insights, uncovering critical details, and making confident decisions.
Optimized for Access
The Simpler Platform is built with one goal in mind: making data easy for everyone to access and understand. Users can query data from multiple sources, transform it in meaningful ways, and explore it without needing technical skills. The client runs in the web browser—meaning no installation, no complicated setup, and no expensive IT support.
Tailored to Your Agency
The Simpler Platform is designed to be efficiently adapted to your organization’s way of thinking, so that users recognize information immediately and have an intuitive understanding of what they see. And the Simpler Platform is able to evolve as your organization evolves, resulting in ever-increasing usability, performance, and reliability.
Integrated with Your Applications
The Simpler platform connects directly to any application’s underlying data source, overcoming the limitations imposed by having to extract data from reports. The user interface formulates and executes queries dynamically, so data is always current and complete.
Running On-Premise or in the Cloud
The Simpler Platform works the same whether it is installed on-premise or in the cloud, and its powerful synchronization capabilities make it easy to move data between servers and networks.
