The healthcare providers our team supports have a crucial responsibility to protect their data. Brett's ability to articulate all the considerations for securing the environment has contributed to these providers being able to plan and act with the full picture of risk in perspective. While we often note that Microsoft was previously not well known as a security company, Brett is certainly playing a key role in helping our customers appreciate the huge Microsoft investments and transformation that now enable us to confidently assert industry leadership in the security arena. I count Brett as a highly valued teammate for his expertise and close collaboration, and for the impact he has had on our mutual customers." and "Brett worked closely with me and my team to implement a number of strategic projects based on our Microsoft roadmap. These projects included a Groupwise to Exchange migration, Microsoft SCOM, an Active Directory Healthcheck and requirements/design of Microsoft SCCM, with an implemention of Group Policies. Put simply, Brett was instrumental in all of this, he is thorough and consciencious, always looking to exceed his client's expections. He takes deep pride in his work and skill, and it shows in the results of our successful projects. Great consultants are those that listen, focus their attentions on translating needs well, deliver for their stakeholders, and above all, develop and maintain great relationships with people. Brett is among the best that I've ever worked with. I'd welcome the opportunity to engage him again in the future. I highly recommend him."
