Recommendations
Here are some recommendations written by customers of JKP Application
Development Services.
"As a leading quantum software company we're always committed to push
the boundaries of our innovative solutions at a very fast pace. Jan
Karel with his deep expertise in VBA development greatly helped us step
up our game to offer the best possible frontend interfaces to our
clients. Great professional. It was an absolute pleasure to work with
him."
"LinkedIn wants to me to say congrats on 15 years @ JKP Apps. But
instead I am going to write and say thanks for all your help over the
years. You don't even know how much you have helped me (and people like
me) as much of it has been via blogs, groups, websites, tools and email
groups. But in part thanks to you I have been able to create elegant and
reliable VBA / Excel solutions for many companies over the past two
decades. Thanks @Jan Karel Pieterse - much appreciated."
"In 2011 we engaged Jan Karel to improve the robustness of an
existing Excel based application and to add many new features. I have a
reasonably high level of Excel competence myself and yet Jan Karel was
always able to bring new ideas and understanding to resolve the issues
that we had. He worked very efficiently and I always felt that he
delivered a lot for the hours that he booked to the project. His
engineering background meant that he quickly understood what we were
trying to achieve and was able to identify potential problems (and ways
to address them) over and beyond what was in the initial scope."
"Not being satisfied with other commercially available software, our
company approached JKP-Application Development Services with a concept
for creating a new tool to be used in the preparation of construction
bids. After an initial consultation and then a period of development and
concept revision, we arrived at a final product that is robust,
powerful, and intuitive to users – and yet the speed of the program
remains quick and file size small.
Throughout the process Mr. Pieterse impressed us with his familiarity
with Excel and competence in VBA programming, of course, but also with
his ability to grasp the overall concept of where we were trying to get
to and provide recommendations on how to go about it. Communications
were prompt and professional.
In short, we can offer this as the strongest recommendation: now that
we have finished the first development we are already looking for the
next project that JKP-ADS can help us with."
From SNS Asset
Management
"SNS Asset Management engaged JKP-ADS for a project with a very tight time
schedule. A reporting format for several clients had to be created. Therefore we
appealed to JKP-ADS, due to the time schedule we needed someone with deeper
knowledge of MS Excel & MS Access.
First of all Jan Karel made some enhancements in our existing reporting
formats & database. These enhancements made some major improvements to our
current process. From there on we have created in cooperation with Jan Karel a
user friendly framework for the new clients.
Looking back on the project only positive words come up to my mind. If your
company needs a MS Office Developer I would certainly recommend JKP-ADS!"
From ISIS Affiliates (Groton, MA)
"Like many other organizations, we were first introduced to Jan Karel
Pieterse and JKP-ADS through his free Name
Manager utility. Jan Karel’s swift responses to our questions and
exceptionally sound advice prompted us to seek him out when we had more advanced
projects to consider. As educational consultants helping schools make better use
of their data resources, we have benefited tremendously from Jan Karel’s
involvement with our organization: his practical expertise has elevated our
products to unanticipated levels of professionalism and his forward-thinking has
opened our eyes to new ways of conceptualizing client relationships. In short,
Jan Karel and his company have made all the difference in the world for us. We
cannot recommend him highly enough."
From a quote 100 US company:
"Our firm engaged JKP Application Development Services (JKP-ADS) to create a
suite of
forensic and analysis programs
for us to use in remediating corrupt Excel files. We are a large
international investment bank and this project was very important to us. For
several years we had been requesting such remediation tools unsuccessfully from
Microsoft so we finally decided to seek other solutions. We decided on JKP-ADS
because we found their
free Name Manager utility to be so
useful and powerful. Throughout the project, JKP-ADS met every deadline and
often sent revisions the same day we requested them. They responded timely to
every request and often made suggestions to improve the design and scope of the
utility package. We found the quality of their work to be superior and we very
much enjoyed our working relationship with JKP. We unhesitatingly recommend
JKP-ADS for anyone in need of any type of Excel development."
"In 2006 we worked together with Jan Karel in developing
an advanced wizard-utility in Excel to select data from an Oracle database,
via HTML calls. This resulted in a marketable product called
NavigatorXL that has been released near
the end of 2006.
Without any marketing efforts 3 major customers adopted the product and
resellers were appointed in Germany, Austria and France. We were very pleased
with the responsiveness of Jan Karel and his flexibility in thinking with us to
complete the product. If you are looking for someone that really makes a
difference and is an ultimate Microsoft Excel professional,
contact Jan Karel."
"A team of people working in South Africa, USA and the Netherlands
were on deadline to complete a major HIV/AIDS grant application when a
visual basic macro failed. JKP came to the rescue by making the fix and
an enhancement to the application in time for us to complete the
proposal on time. Jan Karel was able to dial into our spreadsheet,
review the existing code on the fly and make the changes on-line in just
a few hours. The quality and responsiveness of Jan Karel's services was
outstanding and enabled us to make the deadline."
