Press and Accolades
"Just a quick note to bring to your attention
the efforts of [SH] and Andrew Michalik these
last couple of weeks in getting the new
warehouse vendor, Unisource, up and going on the
CAFM system. Under difficult conditions, [SH]
and Andrew took charge of assessing the status
of all open orders, what items had been staged,
but not processed and which items were
completed, but not closed. In addition, working
with both the Unisource team and Facilities,
quick decisions needed to be made, immediate new
short-term process changes where implemented and
plans to address longer term processes are now
being planned.
Without blowing our own horn too much, this is
an excellent example of the partnership between
Facilities and IT in tackling an immediate and
highly visible need. All should be commended
and especially Andrew and [SH] two exceptional
team members, for stepping up to this unique
challenge way above the call of duty. Thank you
gentlemen!"

"I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you
how pleased I am with the Motion Pictures
Production Portal. It has made a
tremendous positive impact on the work – and our
results – in Production Accounting. One specific
example is the new Variance Entry screen on the
Portal. It saves me at least eight hours
per week..." (Complete

AndrewM.com web site and I was very impressed
(no surprise). I have to tell you that both Jay
and I very much enjoy working with you. We
value your fantastic attitude, dynamic
personality, professionalism and technical
skills. We have a tremendous volume of work on
our plate scheduled out beyond the second
quarter of next year and would we would welcome

CAFMTools application and much of it is on our
other software products. If you are interested
in working with us after we have completed the
CAFM Billing project at Sony please let me
know."

"You and LG should also pat yourselves on the
back for pulling it together and presenting the
"wow" factor to the customers. Without you and
LG's technical direction and vision, we would
not have succeeded. So "thank you" coming from
our end as well. 8-)"

Production Portal - We went live with this
application last week, rolling it out to [the
client]. This application was the first to use
the BEA Weblogics Portal framework developed by
[Frank's] group. LG and Andrew Michalik
"pioneered" several processes when working on
this project including the development of the
first "production environment" for the
framework.

"Mr. Michalik's design was carried out in a very
professional and timely manner. The software and
design techniques were well executed producing
an area efficient circuit. The first lot of
devices were tested to meet specification and
were accepted by the customer. The circuit is
now being readied for volume production with no
engineering or masking changes."Click

information needed to understand

have demonstrated the ability to
work in an unstructured
environment with minimal
supervision. Your open

concerns were voiced in a
