The programs of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, including Blog on the Universe, are indebted to Drew Roman, the President of Decisive IT for being the force behind our presence on the Internet. Beyond his remarkable breadth of expertise in information technology, Drew is intensely passionate about science and technology education, and reaching out to make a difference. I am deeply grateful for the countless hours he has personally provided on web design, navigation, hosting, and maximizing return on our web presence. I am proud of this remarkable partnership between our Center and Decisive IT. Drew—I could not have done all this without you! So if we’re making a difference in the education of children, we’re doing it together.

I’ve worked with Drew on two Deltek Costpoint upgrades and both times, the upgrades went smoothly. I am very happy with the results. I really enjoy working with Drew because he is so easy to work with. One thing I like about Drew is that he is very well organized and when he shows up, he’s ready to work and get things done. Drew is one smart person, and I learned so much from him in such a short time. If we have another Deltek Costpoint upgrade, I will definitely contact Drew.

I’ve worked with Drew on two separate occasions planning and executing complicated software and hardware upgrades. Each of these projects was executed successfully on plan and on budget. When compared to other tech consultants I’ve worked with Drew shines because he’s easy to work with, a very good communicator of ideas and technical solutions, and has an excellent work ethic. I highly recommend Drew as an expert resource for solving your technical problems.

Drew has worked with our company twice in the past few years to help us with the technical side of several major software upgrades. He has proven to be detail-oriented and thorough in all aspects from helping us spec HW to de-bugging database scripts, and is always personable and professional in consulting with users at all skill levels. He has gone above and beyond on both occasions to use his knowledge, expertise, and resources to find solutions to complex issues that occurred.

This past week our company upgraded all of our accounting systems software to the next major releases along with upgrading to the next version of sql server. This was a major undertaking to include all of the upgrades, server changes moving to a test environment for testing and migrating before the end of the week into production. The process was virtually seamless. Drew Roman was not only very knowledgeable of the process steps required to make the transition flow smoothly; he also knew where to turn when the update manuals did not give clear direction. He is very personable and comes with high recommendation from us for future consulting needs

In my opinion, Drew Roman is a top shelf technical consultant. We have hired Drew five times over the past three years – four times when he was an employee of Deltek and once as an independent consultant. We have asked Drew to install and upgrade a wide variety of software products including Oracle database software, Windows OS software, Cognos 8 Business Intelligence Suite, Cognos Contributor, Deltek Costpoint and Deltek Time and Expense. He has handled every job with proficiency and professionalism. Some of these installations and upgrades involved beta or otherwise early versions of the Deltek software, and I have been impressed with how Drew deals with the inevitable technical glitches encountered along the way. He gives his honest appraisal of any problem and then works diligently to resolve it. Drew is well connected with other Deltek technical experts, and they freely and rapidly share information about technical issues encountered during their Deltek implementations. Another aspect of our relationship with Drew that I appreciate is that, even after he leaves our premises, he remains available to offer his advise on any follow up issues or questions.
By virtue of working as a technical consultant in Deltek’s System Solutions Group for nearly a decade, Drew has performed numerous installations and upgrades on a variety of platforms and thus has unmatched expertise for implementing Deltek software. Because implementing these sophisticated software products without the requisite in-house technical expertise and experience can be time-consuming and costly, I highly recommend hiring Drew to perform your system implementation.

Drew helped us migrate our Deltek databases to new Unix servers. His expertise in Oracle DBMS, Unix and SANs were very helpful. His easy going personality was an attribute for working with large teams.
