" I highly endorse Paul Koons as a project manager. He has experience with scoping a project so that it stays
focused on the goals, and stays on track. Meetings with Paul are timely and productive. I was particularly

completion as tasks were completed. His project managment kept all stakeholders accountable for their
responsibilities. He helped us set reasonable goals to accomplish by our next meeting. Paul's organizational skills
are excellent, and he is very easy to work with. Paul is both personable and practical, and I recommend him
without hesitation. Thank you."

BMC / Numara Software
Direct Manager:
“ Superb job!! We are all aware of the complex dynamic and ever-changing
requirements that surrounded this engagement. Because you built a
great relationship and provided detailed documentation, this implementation was a
huge success! It is also noted that the client purchased 8 days on top of the original
purchase, demanding that only you deliver those days. This brought the total of
recognized services for this client to 38 days and over $80k. Again, great work! We
couldn’t ask for anything more.”
Pfizer
Integration Program Manager:
“ Pfizer will save "several million dollars" in reduced costs, thanks to the virtualized
server grid…the savings stem in part from higher server usage levels…WebLogic
servers will go from about 40% utilization to 75% and higher… the real savings
come from the ability to manage those servers with fewer people.”

He also initiated a daily "ask the migration experts" phone bridge in the format of a
radio talk show. This was very well received by our users and fostered confidence

management and Paul was a great mentor. He would always be my first choice for
any project I was associated with!"
