What a few of my clients say . 

A Recent Testimonial :  

“We outsourced a recent project to Christopher and the results were tremendous. This was a program we initially developed in-house however, its functionality was becoming outdated, and the overall “look and feel” needed to be improved. This product is distributed in over 80 countries and so we are especially sensitive to it being both robust in the application, but simple in its usability. We had tried this route before with other so called “experts” but none of them could deliver the product we wanted. Christopher took the time to really understand our goals along with the user’s needs, and he worked tirelessly to get it perfect. He has great attention to detail, a sense of urgency, and very reasonable rates. He delivered the program on time and on budget – how refreshing! We are definitely going to be using his services on all of our upcoming projects and we can recommend him with the utmost of confidence.”          Richard Parker     www.diomo.com

Below you will find testimonials written by several of my clients.  If you and I work together I would expect to do such an amazing job with your project that you will be excited about writing a testimonial of your experience with ExcelConsultant.Net.

But before I get to the actual testimonials I must tell you of a conversation I recently had with a long-term client.  He began the conversation by telling me that he had good news and he had bad news about our latest Excel file we developed.  The good news he said was that the Excel file was working perfectly.  He was very pleased with our work.  The bad news he says was that due to the amount of time saved using this new Excel file over the previous Excel file he had been using that he had to terminate one of his employees simply due to the lack of work.  Let's repeat that, the new Excel file was so efficient that he had to terminate a full-time employee because there was much less manual work to do.  He is actually saving money on a daily basis due to a single Excel file we developed together.  It gets even better, he also said that while testing the new Excel file we developed against the old Excel file he had been using, that he found several errors in the calculations in the old file.  It does not get much better than that.  The client and I worked together one-on-one to develop the ideal Excel template for his business.  He is now saving money and getting more accurate results, in a fraction of the time.

I used Christopher for a small project with a tight deadline.  He over-delivered on quality and time, and he under-delivered on price .  He took time and care to understand everything we were looking for before he began this small project.  He worked late at night and over the weekend and delivered a thoughtful, excellent product.  He is not only professional, but he seems to care far more about his relationship with you than he does about what he is getting out of the interaction.  It is rare and refreshing to encounter old world craftsmanship with internet speed, but he provided that for us.  He has earned my loyalty for a very long time .

I worked closely with Christopher during my tenure at Kaiser. We worked together on multiple projects using Access, Excel and SQL. I was particularly impressed with his technical knowledge, and his ability to integrate Access and Excel using VBA. I would work with Christopher again without reservation, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs Access or Excel project work done." August 4, 2008

Christopher Fennel has done top-notch Excel-based programming for our business in three separate projects in 2007.  While I expected a strong programming orientation (which he has), I was very impressed with his excellent communication skills.  He is a great listener who is very sensitive to the capabilities and needs of all user levels (front-line users and administrators).  He presented various options to accomplish the task, with consideration to future enhancements (this was critical as our project was evolving).  Christopher's knowledge of the Equities markets helped tremendously in shortening the learning curve for developing our Portfolio analysis tools.  He frequently made himself available to discuss the project after hours at our request, provided realistic and reasonable quotes, and met his commitments every time!  He also helped us to diagnose and resolve a hardware bottleneck that avoided a significant coding re-write, savings us thousands of dollars.  I trust Christopher, and he is my first choice for future Excel, Access and SQL project needs .

Remarkable effort and excellent assistance ."

We feel so fortunate to have made contact with Christopher when we were looking for technical assistance for development of a hydraulic modeling spreadsheet. Christopher dove into the project and became a critical member of our design team , meeting every milestone we set for him on the fast-track schedule. He made himself readily available to provide technical support and was efficient with deliverables, often providing revisions within a day or two of receiving a task list. With his help and support we were able to add a significant amount of automation to the complex spreadsheet with change event macros to make the modeling tool more intuitive and user friendly.

I am very happy with the work Christopher Fennell of Central Data Financial Systems did for me. He developed a very custom application that helps me manage investments across multiple currencies while dealing with certain unique and complex corporate and tax reporting requirements. He did not just give me an off the shelf product but rather took the time to listen carefully to my needs and deliver exactly what I needed. I dealt with Christopher through multiple e-mails and telephone calls and I can clearly say that he is the best programmer I have ever worked with. Programmers are not know for their communication skills but Christopher is different. Another thing that sets Christopher apart from other application developers is that he prices his work very competitively and lives within his budget quote. I highly recommend Christopher.

We used Christopher Fennel to combine a couple excel spreadsheets into a workbook for our daily logs. The product he delivered to us after fully understanding our prerequisites was FanTasTic! I appreciate his late night dedication, expertise and customer service. Not only did we receive a great product - I have found a vendor to assist me in the future with Excel, Access and VBA requirements .  
Thanks Christopher!!!

I had Christopher work on an Excel/Access project that required knowledge far beyond my own skill set.  More specifically, Christopher worked on a project that comprised of several programs (Excel, Access, Lawson/Oracle), and centered on budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.  

He was able to accomplish what I needed by using his expertise in VBA/Excel/Access.  The end product only requires me to use Excel, and not even at an advanced level.  While the 'system' he built uses Access to extract and to manipulate data from Lawson, which sits on an Oracle database, I do not even have to open Access, it is fully automated, as is most of the Excel process.

The program he set up has been in use for 2 years and is still functioning perfectly.  He is a great guy to work with and I highly recommend him ."

Even though I have experience with MS Access, I needed the extra expertise in VBA Programming to complete a significant project for a highly visible department in United States Postal Service Headquarters.

Christopher was very instrumental in laying the foundation and assisting in the accomplishment and the necessary layout and fine-tuning of the database.

Without in apprehension, I will utilize the services of Central Data Financial Systems (ExcelAndAccess.Com).
