“James Anderson was an excellent addition to the active directory migration team and brought with him a wealth of knowledge not only in the technical toolset but also the real world experiences of past migrations.

When we ran in to an issue, James would either have the answer or go away and come back with a solution promptly. Another strength is that James would ask the key questions and what we should be thinking about next that many people would not of even thought about.

James positivity and humor was a real asset to this project and thanks for everything”

Some feedback for you on John Pydyn and James Anderson
Both have worked very hard and some very long hours to keep the User AD migrations on track over the last few weeks – it’s a really good Team spirit. Both are very calm and all the Team pulling in the same direction – no egos getting in the way – it’s a pleasure for me to work with both of them and together we have accomplished a great deal.

Thank you both for all the support and humour you have provided during this project - it’s been an overall positive experience!

Thank you for your efforts conducting this assessment. Throughout the project I was impressed with your ability to hear our needs and adjust accordingly. Your frequent communications and status reports were important to keeping this project on the right path. Your cheerful and respectful collaboration was also much appreciated. In the end we are very happy with what you delivered to us – what we asked for and more.

Again, thank you.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you and your team for the migration success this last Saturday. I have been involved with many migrations over the last few years, and this was the best and most seamless one yet. I had much concern, as you probably know, over this one, but I would like to send my congratulations and thanks!

I highly recommend James. He is very knowledgeable and professional with his approach. He also brings logic to the table and understands how to build up to a solution as opposed to just completing tasks. I would recommend James for any engagement of any size. I was confident that James would figure out the solution we needed from the very first interaction. In the end he proved my initial assessment to be true.

Congrats to James for another “Job Well Done” e-mail!

James has had a run of “Tough Customers”, the latest had already been through several consultants by the time James had arrived. Some of them had made things a bit better, but most of them had made them a lot worse. The reason why they had failed? They never stopped to ask the key questions about what the customer really needed and also what was the “right” solution for the requirements. By the time James had gotten there the customer had two failed solutions in play.

James took the job on short notice – Once onsite he agreed to work through the weekend. During his time there he had to combat a customer who had confidence issues and deal with onsite Microsoft services. Along the way James had to fix three broken exchange forests and turn them back into functioning environments, with all three orgs sharing Availability data between them. And the real kicker? He had to do this using Quick Connect, a product he was learning “on the fly”.

The result, as you can see below, was a success!

Excellent job with taking the ball and running with it! Really appreciate all your efforts from 10/31 to today!! Our client is a success because of your determination and resolve! Outstanding job taking a bad situation and turning it in to a “win” for Dell and PSO!

Thanks again,

James you are the only person of the group that managed to stick to this project from the beginning to the end. Having done so you get a positive call-out from the customer for your determination and drive to push forward! These messages from customers are always a joy to get as it does show the quality of the consultant. The positive e-mails are, as you know, hard to get in this line of work, which makes it all the more impressive when you get a call-out like this. Well done!

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that, as of last Saturday, we have officially split in to two completely separate companies, which completes this phase. As you know, this has been a long and difficult transition for us, but I can honestly say that it would not have been possible without the assistance of Dell, most specifically the following people:

Rob Sandri, Rick Adams, James Anderson, Zebulon Griggs and Jeff Xu.

While there were many others that cycled through the project and played their part, the above 5 individuals deserve recognition for their tremendous efforts on behalf of our team in order to make not only our transition from one company to two a success, but also the implementation of new technologies during that transition a success as well.
