Most of his clients start out already having business systems in place, but being in need of "pulling the data together" to get truly meaningful reports and analysis."I don't know how many times I've seen businesses being run based on 'systems' consisting of manual data entry, ad-hoc data feeds and dozens, if not hundreds, of spreadsheets," Ed says. "They know they're vulnerable to all kinds of errors, but aren't quite sure how to clean up the mess. When I build a rock-solid database for them, give them all the analysis tools they need, and get rid of the hodgepodge of spreadsheets, handwritten 'procedures,' and manual calculations, they breathe a big sigh of relief--and become ambassadors for Advanced Business Systems for life."In his years as a Chicago area software consultant, he has worked with a wide variety of software platforms: SQL Server, Visual Basic, the .NET framework, C#, and Microsoft Access, just to name a few.Ed is also Chief Technology Officer for Presto Reviews, a startup company that specializes in online reputation management.
