OPERATIONS & SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Andy has played a critical role in implementing the manufacturing module of JD Edwards at one of our divisions. His
thorough analysis of the business processes and needs of the manufacturing facility ensured a smooth implementation.
The employees involved were very pleased with his patience and dedication in training and documentation. Andy delivered
our solution in the agreed upon timeframe and within the approved budget for the project.”
Julie Leatherman, CFO ~ Service Partners (A Masco Subsidiary) – Multiple projects in 2009
"Andy Collier was tasked with implementing the JDE manufacturing module (EnterpriseOne 8.12) in a sister company that
manufactures wall panels, floor decking, and roof trusses. Andy has extensive JDE knowledge as well as business
experience and it showed in every facet of his work. He spent the required time to understand the business before offering
a solution. He worked well with all levels of employees and was able to complete the project on time and under budget
while at the same time ensuring that the core business processes were setup and functioning in JDE."
Greg Harris, IT Director ~ Service Partners (A Masco Subsidiary) – Multiple projects in 2009
“Before working with Andy Collier there weren’t clear operating philosophies or an integrated system available to support
them. Critical manufacturing processes concepts weren’t well understood and the organization was loosely defined. Andy
led the design of the system, actively helped with the cultural change, educated many key individuals on manufacturing and
system concepts, and led the effort of testing and implementing our new system. Especially noteworthy is how savvy Andy
was in accomplishing this while not being a direct employee or theoretically having any authority. Andy is the best business
and IT consultant I’ve ever met.”
Jeff Allen, VP ~ Alstom Power – Power Services Division (A Global 100 Company) - Multiple projects between 2005 and 2008
“Andy's work has been superb. On the many occasions for which I have used Andy's services, he has delivered high quality
results...often amidst an extremely challenging backdrop. I recommend Andy with no reservations.”
Shawn Ruger, Information Officer ~ Alstom Power – Multiple projects between 2005 and 2008
“I have enjoyed working with Andy for many years. From an Account Manager’s point of view Andy is the best kind of
consultant the kind that makes me look good. My clients have had nothing but praise for his engagements. He has a unique
blend of functional and technical expertise while always keeping his focus on the benefits to the business. I look forward to
the opportunity to work with Andy again.”
Chris Trebour, Business Development ~ Core Consulting – Multiple projects between 2005 and 2008
“Shortly after the merger with Hanover Compression, we hired Andy Collier to conduct a thorough review of our Quote to
Cash and Product Lifecycle Management processes. In less than two months, Andy was able to uncover approximately $2
million in annualized non value added task costs. Not only did the information help us focus on what needed to be
improved post-merger, but also how well the company’s Oracle E*Business ERP software had been implemented to support
the business. We were able to make intelligent business decisions based on specific, measurable cost and cycle time
reduction opportunities. I highly recommend Andy’s services to any company that needs a quick yet comprehensive
analysis of their core business processes”.
Peter W. Dawes, Senior Director ~ Compression Manufacturing, Exterran – 2007
"Within two weeks, Andy Collier was able to conduct a very comprehensive analysis of our Order-To-Delivery process.
Using his Business Architecture System (BAS) solution, he not only identified $ 700,000 in non value added tasks, but
provided us with the data we needed to make sound, short and long term operational business decisions. Andy's BAS
solution built such detailed information about our processes and service costs, that we could start improvements right
away. I recommend Andy's services to any company that needs to make fact based decisions about their operations."

2. ANDY COLLIER – CLIENT TESTIMONIALS PAGE 2
“I have worked for Alstom for over twenty years and have seen many quality initiatives during my time there. In almost all
cases outside consultants were used to develop and/or facilitate these changes. Although management support is critical to
the success of such initiatives the consultant plays an important role. In the past all attempts to drive organizational change
failed or fell short of the goal. Two years ago (2005) Alstom hired Andy Collier to perform a complete business redesign and
integrate our systems. This was a huge undertaking that would require tremendous commitment to achieve. I am please to
say that with Andy’s dedication and knowledge of business systems Alstom has a completely new business model redefined
associates roles and integrated systems. I am proud to have been part of such a rewarding experience and would fully
recommend Andy to any company with the need for positive change.”
Rusty Brannan, Quality Manager ~ Alstom Power (A Global 100 Company) - Multiple projects between 2005 and 2008
"We were pleasantly surprised with the complete business approach Andy Collier brought into the project. He quickly
outlined all of the tasks and functions needed to support a good process and helped us re
arrange the assignment of the tasks to existing people. The process changes would not have been successful without this
first step. Andy demonstrates care of the success of our company rather than (the attitude of) just get the project
completed and get out. With the same person returning, knowledge of our company is retained.”
Ken Shandelson, Chief Information Officer ~ Volvo Penta of the Americas - Multiple projects between 1996 and 2005
“Andy Collier provided a solid foundation for the implementation of our Manufacturing processes in JD Edwards. Internal
project issues put the effort at risk. Andy worked on the project before during and after the transition of project
management and was a key element in keeping the project team together. Most impressive was Andy’s ability to
understand the culture and objectives of our project. As with any organization those objectives did not always align with
commonly accepted best practices. There were numerous political and operational roadblocks presented. Andy was very
astute at insuring the team confronted the facts of the decision but would eagerly adjust work efforts to stay aligned with
the team. Probably the best endorsement of his work lies in the fact that the Manufacturing team has insisted on
budgeting for Andy’s return on an annual basis going forward. This is in an effort to continually improve manufacturing
processes and insure that the system setup is aligned with those processes.”
Doug Dostal, IT Director ~ Briggs Corporation – Multiple projects between 2001 and 2003
“Andy Collier brought the necessary skill set and attitude to contribute to our successful JD Edwards ERP software
implementation. He delivered the goods in a very difficult situation.”
Jim Radzville, President ~ APC (Also, key management for Comdial) – 2000
“Andy Collier was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to gain a rapid understanding of our business and
needs to help with the successful implementation of the software.”
Herb Brooks, Controller ~ Southern States - Multiple projects between 1997 and 1999
“Andy Collier not only assisted us with knowledge transfer of the modules we contracted, (but) mentored the in house
project leadership team with planning and implementation tasks. The best thing that Andy Collier has is the depth of
knowledge from planning to implementation. We were always very confident in every task that was assigned to him. There
was a strong effort to train and mentor us. Every effort was made to make our company self sufficient."
Randy Faris, Business Analyst / JDE Manufacturing Lead ~ Southern States - Multiple projects between 1997 and 1999
"I know when I call on Andy Collier that I can depend on the job getting done and done well. I don't have to supervise his
work because I know he will communicate on a regular basis and handle issues in the customer's best interest. My
experience has always been very positive. I have a great deal of confidence in the work he provides because of his
extensive experience and high degree of professionalism."
Lonnie Crook, Senior Manager - Deloitte & Touche – 1999
“Andy Collier is unique in that he was as committed to the business goals of our project as we were. In some cases he was
the one to bring us back onto business focus. His ability to combine technical expertise and understanding with practical
business sense is exceptional.”
Ron Doxsee, IT Manager ~ Grote Inc. - 1999
