"In my 20 years in technology, I can count on one hand how many people posses the raw technology and business savvy that Andrew possesses. Whether he is building an application, designing a web site, or installing a complex CRM application, he does it quickly, accurately, and with the best customer service skills around. He has an innate ability to hear business needs and apply them to technology. He thinks beyond where the normal technologist thinks, taking into consideration the marketing, sales, support, and real-world needs of the customer.
Whether it is mobile marketing, web development, hardware, database design, and application integration, he spans so many technologies that he is an ideal one-stop-shop for anyone who needs help with their business. He looks for innovative ways to solve problems with high-quality and low-costs."
"Andrew is a genius, an innovator and a great asset for the organization. He's a tireless tech manager who isn't afraid to invest his blood, sweat and tears into a project. Andrew's work ethic and organizational diplomacy skills are contagious!"
"Andrew Tatum assisted my company during a very difficult server crash and network viral infection. He was professional and has always been reasonable about his recommendations. He always works with the idea that he is building a relationship, not just making a buck off of this one particular job. I appreciate that."
"I worked with Mr. Tatum in the development of the website FinHeaven.com, which he founded several years ago [in 1996].
His vision quickly grew FinHeaven from a small fan site, to one of the largest football sites in the world. He was tenacious in maintaining a news type main page, as well as growing the fan forums to one of the best on the net.
A quality person both personally and professionally, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
