Bio
Martyn Rolling
I have worked with Ade in various capacities for over 10 years. He is professional and hard working, and makes sure the customer gets what they need. Sometimes this involves explaining and persuading a customer what they need, because it is not necessarily what they originally thought they wanted. Invariably, this turns out to be the best solution for them. He creates a close working relationship with both work colleagues and customers alike, assisted by his sense of humour. I am happy to recommend Ade.

I know Adrian for about 1.5 years and we both worked for the same team within Rocket Software, even if we had different responsibilities. Adrian worked as a BI consultant and customers loved to work with him. He takes responsibility for every assignment and is always very engaged and helpful, always putting customers first. It was always fun to engage with him as he is a very positive and always-optimistic person. I learned that he started a new business and I certainly wish him a lot of success with his new adventure, and I'm sure customers will continue to enjoy working with him !

6 month fixed term contract (followed by several extensions) to support/enhance Active Olap Suite (AOS). AOS has been in use at Gillette for several years and needed a radical overhaul in order to maximise efficiency and ease of use. Database size reduced by approx 68% and speed improved by circa 60%, with various parts of the system seeing speed improvements of over 90% following slight re-designs. Large part of the brief was to regain user confidence as the integrity of the system was always being questioned - users are now far happier with the system especially now it runs at an improved speedSystems used: AOS, OES
