"Ian Hayes was very thorough in helping us to consider
all aspects of the program and in trying to make sure we
didn't leave anything out. We found Ian to be very helpful
and professional at all times and wouldn't hesitate to
recommend him to other businesses." |

"Ian is one of a rare breed of IT professionals who takes
time to understand your business and the way in which it is
run before he builds the system. Rather than build a system
to your exact requirements he questions the way you do
things to suggest better ways. This quality is easy to
underestimate but can have a significant impact on a
business.
He has also proved invaluable in adding to our own ideas
about ways to improve the way we run our business. It has
been refreshing to work with an IT developer who is honest
and realistic about the work we have requested and instead
of just accepting what we have asked for he has pointed out
better and cheaper ways of doing it, which saved us money in
the process. Refreshingly he has no interest in keeping the
black art, black!" |

" It really has taken the stress out of managing training
here at Hertsmere Leisure.
I have to admit that we forgot to tell Summit about some
of the information we only need from the system periodically, but
its design is such that Ian Hayes and his team have been able to
create addition functionality as we have gone along. They have
helped and supported us at every step along the way.
My staff find it easy to use, it's reliable and we all have
great confidence in it."

"... your support has been super. You have always been
there to answer my numerous questions and it still amazes me how
you have grasped the whole NVQ system and understand what I talk
about! The updates we have requested and additional work
done has always been what we wanted and works and any glitches
have been fixed straight away." |

"Working with Ian Hayes of Summit is encouragingly different. His approach is to develop a thorough
understanding of the business aims and strategies and then
produce solutions - this has enabled us to move forward
extremely rapidly both operationally and strategically as
new options have been opened up to us.
With a true understanding of the problem his solutions
have proved to be both innovative and powerful. A number of
his programme enhancements have saved the organisation more
than the original cost within weeks." |

Other Projects
Four projects to create a CD viewer to publish vocational standards and
S/NVQ
qualifications. Two of the projects were to provide the
publication in the Welsh language
(which was subcontracted to a translation agency, I hasten to
add).
A demonstration of this viewer is available by clicking
here.
Further projects for CJNTO (who are now 'Skills
for Justice' since the NTO structure was completely revised) have
involved converting their on-line learning materials into a
similar, but much more interactive format providing a variety of
tasks and self assessment features.

Standards documentation. Published on CD-ROM and including a full text search feature and extensively
