Bio
Ryan Kane
I have had the pleasure of working with Rich on several Active Directory and Exchange Migration projects over the last few years. The reasons that we keep close contact with him is that every single project he has helped us with would not have gone as smoothly without him. Rich thinks outside the box and is extremely creative in his solutions. Believe me when I say I have witnessed him bring solutions to some very strange problems. The things we value the most about him are his flexibility to work with us whenever we need him, and his work ethic. Rich is a persistent individual and will not stop until the job is done. He is very thorough in his documentation and data gathering. I have seen unexpected things happen, and he always remains calm under pressure. The thing I enjoy most of all is that he is a blast to work with. If I was putting together an All-Star team of consultants, Richard Watkins would definitely be on that roster.

Rich's leadership and technical knowledge was an outstanding resource for our Active Directory Consolidation Project. This project was a major undertaking that ranged from multiple forests, complex infrastructure all the way down to end user accounts and workstations. Along with Rich's expert guidance, his concern and drive for quality being exhibited at every level made this project a tremendous success.
