Mr. Scott White

Letter of Recognition and Appreciation

Scott,

For the past nine months, your accounting expertise has served as the backbone of DukeSolutions’ successful migration from our legacy accounting system, Timberline, to the PeopleSoft Financial Management Information System.  You have provided DukeSolutions accounting department with a rare combination of consulting skills that delivered both high-level strategic advice as well as hands-on detail configurations. As well, you have served as an invaluable technical resource for the DukeSolutions Information Technology/Management Department.

You have tirelessly and persistently directed the mapping of our account structure from the legacy system to the new system within the rigorous deadline expectations. As Project Sponsor, I learned quickly that your sign-off on a project milestone was 100% impeccably accurate.  If  “Scott White” verified the information, I knew without hesitation that it was “right.”  You also appropriately raised the flag when DukeSolutions processes were found to conflict with the proposed new accounting system.  During data conversion, your superior technical skills proved key in effective data migration.

Scott, you served as our subject matter expert even though you were a consultant on the team!  You learned our Legacy system and were able to translate it to the new system.  Thank you for being a leader to the DukeSolutions accounting personnel throughout the entire project.  The “Business Owner” relied heavily, might I say exclusively, on your ability to translate the accounting relationships, to identify potential transition issues and to recommend solutions.  Key to your success with DukeSolutions was your dependability to be on-site each week despite commuting 1,000 miles to our site!

On a personal note, I would like to add that the entire DukeSolutions Project Team, both Accounting and Information Technology personnel, enjoyed working with you.  Your even temperament, good nature and ability to work with all levels within our organization are all the reasons we consider you one of our “gang.”  We wish you much success in your future endeavors!

Sincerely,

Randy Kelley
