Our Success
"Over the past few years, Stuart has successfully helped us with a number of big projects. This has included leveraging both his deep technical knowledge of SAP and his project management expertise.
He managed a major project to extend our SAP footprint into one of our largest factories, which included installing a robust warehouse management system. It was delivered on time, within budget and with good quality. A key part of the process was effective communication with the steering committee including project metrics and risk analysis thought the project lifecycle.
More recently he has assisted us with the upgrade to mySAP ERP2004 and is currently an integral team member in rolling out the New General Ledger to the finance community.
Stuart is highly professional, has deep technical knowledge and possesses excellent communication skills."

"As part of a global initiative, Direct Energy implemented mySAP ERP2004 for all of its business units across North America. Stuart provided financial expertise in designing and implementing the financial and controlling modules in SAP, advising the business on best practices for implementation.
He was an integral team member and as the finance team lead, ensured milestones were met and key deliverables were achieved. He worked closely with the technical team to ensure that the complex interfaces into and out of SAP performed as required. Using his project management expertise, he provided invaluable input and counsel to the program management and project executive team members.
His support and mentorship of Direct Energy team members was paramount to the success in developing an ongoing in-house support structure."
