2023 internship applications are open!
> Look for 2023 Hyland internships
Though we’re a tech company, we have interns in departments all over the organization. From software development to HR and everywhere in between, our 2022 intern class was comprised of 160 individuals from the U.S., India, Poland and the UK.
Now that their experience has come to a close, a few interns shared what it was like to live that #JoinHylandLife.
Hyland’s interns share their favorite takeaways from the summer
A part of the team
“I felt very supported during my time at Hyland,” said Kaitlyn F., a cloud support intern studying Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Toledo. “From my mentors, fellow interns, and other Hyland employees, there was always someone there that wanted to help us succeed and was able to answer any questions or give advice if we asked.”
“Intern life is very collaborative, and everyone wants you to succeed,” Kaitlyn continues. “It has the workplace experience and culture you look for by taking an internship but isn’t stressful even if you are starting without much background.”
An opportunity to hone their skills
Gabbie T., a customer intelligence and analytics intern studying Marketing & Business analytics at Ohio University, was looking forward to working somewhere in the tech industry where she could learn and use the newest software and tools available.
“The best thing I learned was how to create a Tableau dashboard from the ground up,” Gabbie said. “It’s a skill that I see myself using for the rest of my career as a marketing analyst, and I am glad I got the opportunity to navigate through the software.”
A time for growth
“I feel so much more confident and ready to enter the workforce after graduation having had my internship experience,” said Grace C., an Integrated Marketing intern studying Interactive Media Studies and Marketing at Miami (OH) University.
“The biggest difference between college life and intern life is the way I manage my time,” she said. “Figuring out the best way to be productive during my set hours was definitely a change, because in college anytime outside of class is really up to you to do whatever you want. I always made sure to plan out my next week on Fridays, and I thought that really helped me prioritize what I needed to do and get everything done efficiently.”
I learned things about myself that would have never been possible had it not been for this internship, such as my response to working under real pressure, having to master certain programs within an incredibly short time period and the reality of high expectations.

A place to feel more than “just an intern”
In addition to feeling more confident after her internship, Grace C. enjoyed being involved and valued as a true member of the team, as well as getting to see how her work makes an impact.
“Throughout my internship I felt like I was always kept in the loop with what was going on with my team and department,” Grace said. “Because of that, I could see what the work I was doing was being used for, and its involvement in a higher-level impact. I think that really helped me stay motivated and made me feel like the work I was doing was valued.”
Memorable real-world experience — but make it fun!
For Priyaka N., a Pricing intern studying Finance at John Carroll University, the most valuable takeaway was one she discovered about herself.
“I learned things about myself that would have never been possible had it not been for this internship, such as my response to working under real pressure, having to master certain programs within an incredibly short time period and the reality of high expectations,” Priyaka said.
For Daniel N., a Financial Planning & Analysis intern studying Finance at The Ohio State University, it was the office life and people that made his experience a memorable one.
“I have learned so much through this summer,” Daniel said. “However, it has not been just that. It is not like I have been some sort of robot just doing work, it was exciting to come into the office every day. The environment, as I stated above, was fantastic. The people I met and worked with were expectational as well. This is an experience I will remember and be able to take the lessons I learned and improve myself.”
Okay, let’s be honest, getting paid is a nice perk too.

The Top Five Factors of Successful IT Implementation Plans
1 Executive support
This doesn’t mean the C-suite is actively involved in vendor sourcing, implementation strategy or project management. Executives have no need to involve themselves in the minutiae of an IT project on a day-to-day basis. They should, however, understand and champion the business case behind the implementation. When an IT team knows it has the full support of its leadership, it is likely to be more invested in the success of an IT project.
2 Emotional maturity
When a group works together to undergo a very long, sometimes frustrating implementation process, emotions and stress are bound to run high. This isn’t always a bad thing: everyone has emotions, and the expression of those emotions can indicate passion for a project. However, if one team member demonstrates low emotional maturity by lashing out, trying to take undue credit, lying about progress or hiding mistakes, working to spite another team member or any other petty action, the entire project (and mental wellness of the project team) can become compromised.
3 User involvement
Nobody on a team, no matter their seniority, wants to feel like just an order-taker or a button-pusher. The most successful IT implementations involve the people who will actually be using the software, from start to finish. Survey employees about what would make their work more efficient, involve them in choosing a software vendor, and gather their feedback throughout the implementation process.
4 Optimization
Project success is more likely when undertaken as “a structured means of improving business effectiveness and optimizing a collection of many small projects or major requirements,” says The Standish Group. “Optimization starts with managing scope based on relative business value.” In other words, keep it simple. Discover what end users need, and deliver that.
5 Skilled staff
It can be tempting to hire an outside team of consultants to handle a project implementation end-to-end. As professionals, they’ll probably get it done faster, right? Perhaps. But they probably aren’t the right professionals for your specific implementation project. Rely on employees who know the organization inside and out. They are the ones who are likely to catch an issue or opportunity before it’s too late to course-correct.*
