Testimonials
Gordon, Systems Engineer, IBM i on Power Systems, Retail Industry
I recently attended Common’s PowerUp 18 conference in San Antonio. Dawn May had a series of sessions on the native Performance Tools that was very informative. In the very first session I learned I could license Job Watcher for helping diagnosis performance and contention issues. The information I gained from Dawn’s sessions alone made attending PowerUp worth the time and money. I highly recommend Dawn’s sessions to Systems Engineers as well as Developers.”
Alan Seiden, Seiden Group
An astute technical troubleshooter, an energetic advocate for IBM i, an exemplar of deep expertise, Dawn has helped countless organizations to succeed and prosper with IBM i.”
VP, Information Technology, Global Logistics Industry
In about 4 days, Dawn was able to pinpoint our systems bottlenecks and prioritize our efforts, resulting in a 20% reduction of CPU.”
