"It was my privilege to work with Mr. David Gerrish over a period of one year, in my position of Telecommunications & Network Manager with <company>. Dave was tasked with specification, implementation, integration of HP OpenView systems in London and Singapore. These systems were based on the newest versions available at that time, and such we anticipated, and indeed encountered, numerous implementation issues. The project was concluded successfully and this was entirely due to Dave's commitment and diligence on the project. The aspects of Dave's personality, and approach to our project, which most impressed me were: friendly and cheerful nature, demonstrating greater commitment, and enthusiasm, to the project than was exhibited by either <hp openview reseller company> and <company>, tremendous self-motivation, requiring no prompting from the 'managers' to achieve objectives and move on to the next task, an innovative approach required to successfully implement a global NMS system of this type, good early comprehension of our network infrastructure (a state-of-the-art ATM design pioneered by <company>), including requirements and the overall scope of the project, a willingness to accept comment and criticism positively, unparalleled knowledge of HP OpenView software and associated products. I would be very happy (and intend) to employ Dave's services again."

Global Telecommunications & Network Manager, Investment Bank, London & Singapore

 

"David Gerrish was engaged at the <company> as a senior Network Management specialist to assist in the tactical implementation of a new set of network and system management tools. This project was successfully achieved within an aggressive timeframe ensuring reliable and high availability network services to enable electronic trading to external broker organisations. David made a significant contribution to the team, providing extensive experience from previous implementations with HP OpenView. His primary role was ensuring the network management system was successfully configured for production support and operations teams for <company> requirements. The implementation team enjoyed working with David as he willingly shared his technical knowledge and expertise. David proactively initiated activities and deliverables which effectively contributed to the team's skills transfer. I look forward to future opportunities working with David, and have no hesitation in providing this reference and recommending him to future organisations."

"David was responsible for installing and configuring the HP OpenView software at the <company>. David worked to strict timescales on the project and delivered all that was required in the short space of time allocated (and in between flights!). David's additional tasks were to provide training and documentation to the <company> staff so that they felt confident to manage their network effectively. This was done to the satisfaction of all parties. David has extensive knowledge of HP OpenView and works 100% towards delivering these solutions to the end client. I am happy to recommend his services to anyone and hope to take advantage of working with him again in the near future."

Project Manager, Global IT Solutions Provider, Lithuania

 

"Dave's key role within the team was to provide advice on Network Management both internally to <the company> and to <the company's> customer base. This was achieved in a professional manner using documentation in the form of consultancy reports on Network Management studies for the customer, on-site training and consultancy. He has also transferred skills to core <company> team members. He is respected by both his peers and customers for his detailed knowledge of Network Management applications and platforms and works well with other team members. I have always found Dave to be tenacious and hard working, giving 100% to get a job finished."

Project Manager, Global IT Services Provider, UK

 

"A true consultant! Having lack of skilled staff during the holidays, we engaged David Gerrish for a specific installation job regarding an HP OpenView set-up from scratch on a mission-critical HP9000 UX server in just one week. Having a consultant to work for you for the first time on such a delicate job, was an ultimate test. David's professionalism and eagerness to do a good job made this week a smooth and pleasant working experience. Throughout planning, design, additional suggestions and, as always, change management, David proved to be a true consultant, who teamed up 100% with the rest of us while providing a remarkable consolidated software implementation and set-up. David has our highest recommendations."
