Customer Feedback
“UCDS brought forth a new perspective and methodology that was not only useful but vital in the changes we are making in our operations group”.
Michael Wright

“He has a rare content expertise in various areas, and ability to collect information and analyze hundreds of unique processes. Whether he is in the control room with operators on Friday evenings conducting interviews, or Sunday mornings in his Nomex out in the unit, or Monday morning in his suit in front of the management, Ian Nimmo makes it possible to bring people and ideas together to make continuous improvements.  Think of his ideas as a money pit that you can reach by scooping your resources and transform them magically into Production Centered organization”

“Ian’s depth of knowledge and ability to persuade the end-user to think beyond their immediate technical requirements to consider people and business process requirements allowed us to design a really comprehensive Statement of Requirements. This both helped us win the implementation project and deliver a successful solution that has the best chance of delivering benefits for many years to come.”
