"EGL brings a wealth of business insight to a BI system project. Their assistance in the business discovery process has been invaluable to our project."
Ron Peterson

"We had Doug in to give his 101 all day course to our team just after we formed. We didn't know it then but now after two years we realize how valuable the experience was. We have 'built to pain' and are running a 'service' business. There are still a lot of 'Hackneyisms' running around here, and I'm glad there are."
Mike Masciandaro
Director of Decision Support
Rohm & Haas
 
"Enterprise Group formulated the right team of experts to provide a balanced, in-depth and integrated analysis of our entire real-time DW environment, with practical and timely recommendations. Follow on briefings to our senior executives were very well received."
Jed Summerton
Director, Data Architecture
Level 3 Communications
 
"As a company and industry (Gas and Electric Utility), we were very new to the concepts of data warehousing. We wanted to work with Enterprise Group Ltd. because they offered expertise in the areas we considered critical success factors:
  • Their ability to offer a full strength methodology. From business assessment through implementation, they helped us focus on using the strengths of data warehouse deliverables to address the business problem.
  • They use a knowledge transfer approach we felt was critical for us to continue our long term efforts in creating and sustaining an Enterprise Data Warehouse.
  • They have been very willing to work with all areas of our project and have displayed a genuine concern for our success."
Nancy Fictum
Senior Systems Analyst

"When we were funded for our data warehouse project, we decided to find a knowledge coach in the field to enable us to do it right from the start. My research identified EGL as the best fit for our organizational and business goals and objectives: they were well-rounded -- skilled in the technology, the business/user visioning side, and implementation -- in my experience, an unusual mix.

Throughout the run of the project, EGL's project lead, Doug Hackney, came in to review our progress. Each time, he asked tough questions, met with each team member individually and benchmarked progress to date, and then, offered coaching, strategic advice and 'next steps' planning. He proceeded through our project in a logical manner that was meaningful for the team from the technical aspect, and for the leadership/management from the business perspective. He provided us with a list of caveats and matched strategies for dealing with each -- when everything on his list came true, we were ready and waiting -- this is the true test of a good coach, the test of time."

"EGL's real world experience proved to be invaluable as we ventured into the data mart/decision support arena. Their team of seasoned experts brought the necessary skills and knowledge to the project. More importantly, they mentored our resources as we worked together to develop and sustain our first data mart effort."

Jeff McBain
Project Manager - Information Technology
FedEx Ground/RPS

 
"EGL's strength was keeping us focused on solving specific business pain. Their ability to get us to think as a team, to pull together toward a common goal, that had measurable and sustainable value to the business, was invaluable. As Doug so aptly pointed out to us, 'the system becomes the de facto data source for everything happening in the building.' Inside sales is now closing roughly 40% of all their calls and direct response marketing has a 400% increase using the system. Our mantra does continue to be to build the system to pain."

Michael Ousley
Director- Database Marketing
Thomson Legal and Regulatory Group
West Group

 
"Doug's forward thinking and understanding of cutting-edge technology with regard to DSS and Data Warehousing, and his ability to apply this knowledge to the needs of a company, are what sets him apart from other consultants in this field. Doug has a marketing mind and business sense, which includes knowing who the users are and what they need. He holds to the rigor required to deliver a good, sensible case as to why the company is building a data warehouse. He provides breadth and robust service, and successfully services a client on all three aspects of a project: infrastructure, Data Warehousing and Data Marts, and tools evaluations."

Tim Butler
Marketing Programs Manager
GE Medical Systems

 
"EGL did an excellent job in a short time span, cutting right to the chase on our project. They maintained a very focused approach and allowed no wasting of time. EGL employs an excellent understanding of the market and imparted a great deal of knowledge on the team with whom they worked."
John Jurus
Director of IT Consulting Services
Houghton Mifflin Publishing
 
"EGL was hired to provide consulting services in the area of Data Warehousing and on the use of end-user decision support tools. We were most impressed with their directorial ability. They 'set the ship in the right direction' for a team that had no prior data warehousing experience."
