Doug has a rare mix of technical understanding/capability and business savvy. He is very good with clients and consulting to find a suitable mix of products and services that meets their needs. Doug also supports and often fills gaps in technical teams by supplementing the development and IT teams when they are short staffed or in a period of high turnover. Doug is experienced in environments where change and uncertainty are constant and he is adept at learning new concepts quickly. I highly recommend him for both skill and as a team player. As a matter of fact, if I was building my dream team… he would be on the short list.
Doug is great to work with and knows his stuff. I've been fortunate to be a client for Doug and have been met with nothing but professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge. If Doug doesn't know an answer off hand (which was rare) he knows exactly where to find it.
Doug is a pleasure to work with on any project. He is very professional and he continues to be very hands on with the team. He is more of a partner than a vendor. His positive attitude lets you know that he will do his best to find a solution no matter what the issue.
Doug kept all members of the project team as well as management informed through every phase of development from scoping to completion. He grasps the systems at play, shapes and defines direction and possesses excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and is excellent at defining deliverable requirements.
He showed an uncanny ability to foresee a potential problem and course correct saving the company money and preventing unexpected hurdles from delaying a project’s implementation.
Doug was immediately willing to help when I approached him with a somewhat unusual business request. He worked diligently with his team to make sure that we were getting exactly what we needed and was great to work with throughout the process - I didn't have to worry about any details slipping through the cracks. It was a pleasure working with Doug and I greatly appreciate all of his efforts.
