Testimonials

On behalf of The 4th World Multi-conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI 2000) and The 6th International conference on Information Systems, Analysis and Synthesis (ISAS 2000) Organizing Committees, I would like to send you our thanks for chairing one of the sessions of SCI 2000/ISAS 2000 and for the good job you did in this role.

I am personally grateful to you for participating in the high quality scholars/researchers... making these conferences a success

Professor Nagib Callos, General Chair SCI 2000

Your book on integration is refreshing indeed (a good departure from what I would characterize as superficial diatribe contained in most commercial texts on the topic).

Joe Schwartz , Managing Director Scient

Ms. Brown has given us a gift...The three chapters that comprise Part I set the context... introduce integration models ... and discuss the environment for integration modeling. I liked this part for the following reasons: it focuses on business imperatives, and includes risk factors from a company and industry perspective; it bridges both business and technical views...

Mike Tarrani

Laura demonstrates a remarkable talent for understanding her client's current environment and successfully translating the client's vision into a future-state technology solution. It is not enough to be a visionary, one must also execute. Laura successfully executes projects to fulfill the client's vision, providing seasoned leadership to her project team. It's been a pleasure to work with Laura.

Suzanne Sinclair, Project Management Partner Teradata

Laura is a wonderful facilitator of business driven IT strategy that emerges over time through the process of corporate strategic planning, subsequent functional planning, IT requirements gathering, vendor assessment and selection and eventual execution. She is knowledgeable of the entire process and acts as a neutral guide/facilitator for both business and IT professionals to arrive at the best possible solutions for the business. I highly recommend Laura in this critical role for any organization.

Mark Pendleton, Director, Decisioning Solutions - Consulting, Product Development & Go-To-Market Strategy TransUnion

It is with great pleasure and without reservation that I highly recommend Laura. Throughout the years I've hired Laura several times, and she is without a doubt the consummate professional who always surpasses the client's expectations. She has a solid and thorough understanding of all phases of I.T. and is without a doubt one of the most intelligent and unassuming consultants I know.
