Testimonials

“For many years, it has been my pleasure to work in collaboration with Phil Simon. In addition to providing Lawson consulting for some of my clients, Phil has been a valuable asset to The LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com, writing numerous articles and answering questions from Lawson clients. Phil’s book, “Why New Systems Fail”, is a great addition to any professional library, and I look forward to his next one.”

- John Henley, Founder of Decision Analytics and LawsonGuru.com

- Jake Wyant, Lawson Practice, Analysts International

“Phil Simon brought our reporting into the 21st century. The new reports he created utilizing MS Access overcame the limited functionality of the built-in Lawson ad hoc tool, HR Writer. His reports saved us a great deal of preparation time and provided more detailed options. Phil also streamlined the distribution process of the reports to my managers by simply clicking a button to send them electronically.

Working with Phil remotely during the development of our reports saved Cornell considerable money. We only had to pay for his time, not the usual travel related expenses that you normally incur when a consultant does on site work for you. Phil was in constant communication with me and kept me informed at every step of the development process.”

- Renea Levine, Director of HRIS, Cornell Companies

“Phil identified the areas of our system that could be used more effectively and worked efficiently to achieve our goals. He provided a considerable amount of customized documentation on how to use the new functionality and trained our staff well. The attention to detail was excellent and the work was completed ahead of schedule and under the proposed budget. We would not hesitate to use him again.”

- Bob Graczyk, Human Resources Director, QuickChek
