Kevin Shannon

Bill was the technical consultant on many of my Financial Performance Management implementations. We worked on several projects together and I always had full confidence in Bill's technical skills and his ability to meet timelines with no rework. He also has great client skills and mentors more junior or less technical team members.

I worked with Bill on a number of large e-commerce projects. Bill is very talented and knowledgeable SQL and C# developer. He is a team player and great person to work with. Bill is very supportive, open minded and I would highly recommend him anywhere.
