"In the world of consulting, Tom is a rare find-with deep and wide expertise, a passion for technology, and an admirable work ethic. He took over a troubled inital implementation, resolving numerous issues in a timely manner. Working in a collaborative manner, he was able to train my staff to be self-reliant, providing measurable and lasting value. He always went above and beyond my expectations-I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others."

G. Patrick Thompson, Jr., Vice President/Chief Information Officer, Turner Industries Group, L.L.C.

"Tom worked with us during our initial implementation of OneWorld XE between 8/1999 and 6/2000. He was instrumental in stabilizing a very early and rough JDE OneWorld CNC environment. He was very dedicated and very good at training our internal CNC staff to be self sufficient. I highly recommend him."

Jack D. Crouch, Chief Technology Officer, Stewart & Stevenson

“Tom has excellent communication skills, appreciates the need for multi-tasking and performs very well in a dynamic and changing environment. He quickly understands the politics of a company and has excellent technical skills. He practically demonstrates the certifications that he achieved in his career and carefully chooses each stepping stone that has formed his career. In all our engagements, Tom demonstrated a strong and mature presence. I would recommend Tom to any potential employer.”

Alan Phelan, VP- Managed Application Services, Infocrossing, a Wipro Company

"We have a seasoned CNC crew, but often need guidance and assistance as we explore new frontiers. Tom provides the depth of experience which allows us to use him as one of our own without a ramp up time. He builds credibility and rapport with customer team using his expert product knowledge. The true benefit Tom provides is the ability to work around CNC limitations by engineering new approaches and educating our team on the latest technical capabilities. Tom is a valued extended member of our CNC team."

Steve Clagg, Director of Practices and Tools, MWH

"We brought Tom Atwood out to Tyco Healthcare to help us with training in Oracle Enterprise One CNC Administration. We needed to get several people trained in a very short period of time. Tom worked with us before the class to tailor the curriculum to our specific needs, and then while on site he was able to discuss in great detail the options we had for configuring the software. Tom's in depth knowledge of the Enterprise One software was invaluable to the learning process. In several instances during the week of training he was able to speak in great detail about how to handle the specific setup of users, security, change management and package deployment. There is no doubt that Tom's experience and training have helped us to save many hours of time in setting up and configuring the application."

Ben Philibert, Manager, Mid-Range Systems, Tyco Healthcare/Kendall (now Covidien)

"My team was responsible for designing and building all the demonstration solutions, which enabled our PeopleSoft and JD Edward's Field Sales Consultant's to sell our software offering's worldwide. Tom was instrumental to helping our team achieve our project deliverables, which contributed greatly to the successes that our Sales force achieved. Tom always demonstrated a high level of technical and project management expertise. He even managed to complete his MBA degree and Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, while still maintaining his project responsibilities!"

Lynn Cooper, Director- JD Edwards Applications Consulting, ORACLE

"As a network administrator and as a CNC admin, I worked with Tom Atwood at my former employer indirectly for a year and directly for another year. Tom is an incredibly bright and intelligent person, and always a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of both World and OneWorld made him our first choice when we needed help with CNC and co-existence. His dedication to accomplishing the consulting goals which he was tasked with in the time frames we required was unquestionable. I would highly recommend Tom personally and professionally to anyone with CNC or IT needs."
