Evaluate the contractor's timeliness Always very reliable and timely on his attendance. Could produce reports much faster than our experience has been with other contractors.

Evaluate the contractor's quality James was asked to produce several reports but one in particular was execeptionally difficult. It required him to be a self starter, work with various functional team members to complete the spec and also to understand the data base to be used. He ended up doing this very well and was able to tie out the numbers to the penny. He was able to blend Visual Basic skills with his nVision skills to produce this complex report.

Evaluate the contractor's cost Very reasonable cost relative to similar specialized contractor rates

Evaluate the contractor's overall performance Positive experience with James. Worked well with functional team and did so with minimal supervison, pleasant to work with and producted quality results.

Describe any negative action taken during the duration of this contract (i.e., termination, pursuit of suspension, etc.): None

Please rate the overall experience with the contractor 5 - very satisfied
