EXCERPTED FEEDBACK ABOUT LOMASKY'S PERFORMANCE FOR EMC'S CUSTOMERS  

Brian's authority and credibility with Oracle Corporation and our customer has been the difference between EMC being seen as meeting customer requirements at Farmers and our previously always being on the defensive against Siebel's constant deflective haranguing about the IO subsystem" - Don Burgess, EMC Professional Services Project Manager for Farmers Insurance, 08/28/02

 

“The customer valued Brian's opinions and they have told me that there are about five of Brian's ideas in particular that could provide significant benefit that would have a huge positive impact on their environment” - Kevin Vybiral, EMC Account Executive for Information Resources Incorporated, 07/25/02

 

“I agree 100% that Brian Lomasky's work as originally defined for his engagement with our organization has not only been completed, but has even exceeded our level of expectations and satisfaction with his deliverables.  I would also like to add that both my staff and I found Brian to be very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to work with.” - Adrian Jaroslavici, Manager, Data Base Administration, Systems Operations Group, Farmers Insurance, 07/23/02

His [Lomasky’s] knowledge impressed everyone at our meeting and was the shot in the arm we needed.” - Kevin McArdle, EMC Senior Account Executive for Underwriter Laboratories, 06/18/02

 

“The people in NSS were impressed with his know-how, and they indicated that this is the first tim e they saw a significant technical person from EMC.  For our people in EMC Japan, this is a great opportunity to learn a specific strong point of the EMC solution.  It would be highly appreciated if you will send this significant person again to Japan .” - Hiro Sugimura, EMC Japan EBC Director, 05/20/02

 

Brian's expertise in the Oracle, systems, and storage is remarkable and his execution on this project was flawless.  To Brian’s credit, he captivated the client team (local and remote) for over 8 hours during the review of observations/recommendations and best practices.  The interest was so high on the client side, that remote staff, with prior obligations, called in every chance they had (and they were not the DBAs, but the application and infrastructure staff!).” - Gary S. Ciempa, EMC Northeast Professional Services Principal Consultant for GE Plastics, 04/01/02

 

“I would like to personally thank you for the outstanding job you have done with GE Medical.  You stepped into a chaotic environment with multiple issues in front of us.  You identified several major design issues that have already has a positive, visible impact to the application environment.  I have received extremely positive comments from the GEMS team and they appreciate your knowledge and professionalism.” - Rick Jansky, EMC Senior Account Executive for GE Medical Systems, 10/23/01

 

“I have been selling in the technology industry for a number of years, and feel compelled to let you know that I have never seen anyone do what Brian had done for us today.  He used his tools to drive facts and data that Xerox had never seen before. They had Oracle in, SUN in, and they could not help solve the multiple challenges that Brian was able to uncover.  He commanded the room extremely well, articulated what the problems and what his recommendations where, handled ANY objection, was more prepared than anyone I have ever seen, and truly helped EMC gain a tremendous amount of credibility.  Bottom Line, He was Outstanding and deserves a great deal of credit. We are all lucky to have a resource like him.” - Brady Hogle, EMC Executive Account Representative for Xerox Corporation, 09/26/01
