Bio
George R. Monnat, Jr., P.E., PMP
As a consultant, Amy assisted me and my team with a major back office system (BOS) transition, from an older on-premise BOS to a new cloud-based BOS. The transition was very complicated with dozens of interfaces, including with many external parties, but Amy came up to speed so fast and added so much value that it was like she was a long-time, full-time team member. She was a consummate professional who gladly tackled and quickly solved every issue which we presented to her, and she helped us accomplish a very successful BOS transition. I definitely look forward to future opportunities to work with Amy.

I worked with Amy Bishop for over 3 years while she held the position of Senior Analyst at VE Systems/Federal Signal Technologies. Amy reported to me, and she made my job much easier! Amy is very intelligent and has the ability to perform any task, given the opportunity. If you hand her a task, she will run with it and produce a high quality product. I am positive anyone who has ever worked with Amy would mirror anything I have stated so far. I highly recommend Amy for anything she is pursuing. I can guarantee she will exceed expectations and be an asset to your company.
