He single-handedly performed all three functions at Telogy and did it with precision, superior quality and outstanding customer service. Thanks to Bala’s effort and expertise Telogy’s network rarely if ever went down despite very heavy usage. Conversions were taken care of quickly and to perfection, desktop upgrades maintenance and installations were all handled flawlessly. In addition to his technical prowess he is fantastic to work with. He is the consummate team player and works very well even with the least sophisticated of users. He also did an excellent job managing two remote sites including one in Belgium. He would be a great addition to any IT team." and "In December of 1998, Telogy completed a migration from legacy "mainframe" and highly fragmented I.T. to an enterprise-wide UNIX/Sybase ERP. As CIO, I cannot imagine a more challenging period in which to be recruiting and hiring the technical talent required to assist us with this conversion and its ensuing maintenance, but in December of 2002, Bala Neelakandan was retained as a UNIX System Administrator. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with an individual who possesses a rare combination of technical proficiency and professional diligence wrapped up in a personality that can only be characterized as delightful in every way. With considerable assistance from Bala, our company quickly moved out of the implementation phases of this very significant migration and ultimately delivered a stable and reliable production environment. As the company evolved, Bala was routinely called upon to perform a wide variety of IT-related tasks, including network management, internal helpdesk response, voice systems moves/adds/changes, LAN/WAN and VPN networking, and overall security. During the tech boom years, Bala remained comitted and loyal to his employer and team. During the tech bust years, Bala readily accepted numerous additional tasks and responsibilities well outside the job description for which he was hired. Bala is fully capable of working and communicating at all levels of the organization and he is readily sought out by all in our organization when difficulties are encountered. Willingness to work odd hours, to learn and manage new technologies or processes required by our business, and an unswerving comittment to his team, goals, and employer are the hallmarks of Bala's tenure with our company. Very importantly, Bala brings to his job and customers one of the brightest and most cheerful personalities I have had the pleasure of working with."
