Rob Teichman – Director GSI Commerce an eBay Company – “I had the fantastic fortune of hiring John to help my organization implement Sterling Integrator. As this was a new product for us, I had to find a consultant who was both a guru in the technology as well as a person who would look out for my company’s needs ahead of maximizing consulting revenue. John was, and is, that person. He was able to quickly understand our business needs and then design and implement a solution. The solution was elegant, easy to maintain, and cost effective. Once done, he trained our people in maintaining and enhancing the system. I was so pleased with his work that when a new, high risk, high profile, project came in I immediately reached out to him. He is currently doing another great job delivering on that project. Even though my organization has developed in-house expertise in the product, I will continue to reach out to John whenever we have high profile Sterling Integrator project. He is that good!”
