The MultiValue Mentor: Rebuilding the Pick MultiValue Workforce Through Mentorship, Education, and the Power of Shared Knowledge
The systems still work. The people who built them are retiring. And almost no one is training their replacements.
For more than thirty-five years, Roy Contreras has worked at the center of the Pick MultiValue ecosystem — recruiting, placing, and watching the workforce that powers distribution centers, hospitals, manufacturers, and financial institutions around the world. He has seen the technology outlast every prediction of its demise. And he has watched, one conversation at a time, as the talent pipeline quietly dried up.
The MultiValue Mentor is his answer to that crisis.
This is not a technical manual. It is a workforce strategy — written for every company that depends on MultiValue systems, every experienced developer who wonders what happens to their life's work when they retire, and every young professional who has never heard of Pick but is looking for a career path where expertise is genuinely valued and in short supply.
Roy makes the case that the future of the MultiValue ecosystem will not be determined by the technology. The technology already works. What will determine the future is whether the people who understand it are willing to teach — and whether the companies that depend on it are willing to invest in what comes next.
Inside, you will find:
- A clear-eyed account of the generational crisis facing the MultiValue workforce and why it happened
- The Ace Tech Mentorship Model — a four-stage framework for moving a new developer from observation to independent contribution
- Practical guidance for companies ready to build internal talent pipelines rather than compete endlessly for a shrinking pool of experienced professionals
- A structured education pathway developed in partnership with Rocket Software, including the MV Foundation eLearning curriculum at learn.rocketsoftware.com
- Six career track roadmaps covering Front-End Development, Back-End/Pick Development, Database Administration, Systems Analysis, Tech Support, and MVIS Integration
- The economics of mentorship vs. system conversion — including a five-year cost comparison showing $875,000 in potential savings
- A TCL command reference, appendices on workforce planning, and a 10-year industry revitalization roadmap
The MultiValue Mentor is not written out of nostalgia. It is written out of necessity. MultiValue systems quietly continue to power much of the infrastructure the modern world depends on — proven, resilient, and embedded in operations that cannot afford to fail. Passing that knowledge to the next generation is not optional. It is the work.
"The most important legacy is not the code. It is the people."

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
