I've worked with Nik for only a short time but in those few months Nik has impressed with his technical expertise as an Oracle DBA. His confidence and knowledge was clear where we worked together at a customer site, IRD, where he was able to confidently and competently provide the information and skills/experience required on a complex replatforming project. Having him as my technical sidekick when working with the customer as well as with other vendors, was most reassuring and Nik created a very good impression with the customer. He is a valuable asset in a technical role and also where leadership and initiative is required.

Nik Player is on of the top Oracle Professionals I have worked with. I always trusted Nik to get on with his job and go the extra mile to sort an issue out. He is a true professional at work, who is always looking at improving himself and concentrates on challenging himself within his roles. His drive to grow and critically review all of his actions is a true blessing in our industry. He is a true perfectionist at work and very detail oriented and provided a perfect counter balance to my own character. From a personal level I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and will miss his personable and thorough ways.
