Greetings and Welcome

Grigsby Consulting LLC provides Intellectual Capital for Your Business by leveraging David Grigsby's skills and experience with software, technology and business process integration.

What I do: I solve problems as one of your trusted advisors

How do I do it: I use intellectual capital, technology, tactical business processes coupled with tactical and strategic hands on experience to solve real pain points to maximize and generate revenue streams while reducing operational expense and duplication of effort.

Who do I generally work for: Small to Medium Businesses where the "Do It Yourself" limits have been reached by the owner or staff or Medium to large businesses on a team as a Corp to Corp (C2C) subcontractor.

What area of business do you focus on: Pre-Sales as this is a real pain point in most companies due to the economy as this is less of a black art and more science of methodology and positive persistence now.

So you’re an expert?: Maybe in a random room or gathering of professionals, but I would not call myself one, knowingly, but I like the synonym; proficient, as Merriam-Webster and Wikionary defines it. A general definition of an expert per Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia is "Doing something for 10 years or 10,000 hours"

Brief Explanation: The reason that I won't call myself an expert is that I am not that confident anyone is, including the inventor of the device, technology or methodology. My experience is based on a simple premise that the inventor (first expert) probably discovered their invention as a byproduct of their real research and passion. I have worked at many companies, like most professional developers, software architects and consultants. I have worked for Microsoft in Redmond,Wa, and I know my limits of course, as I test them regularly. Microsoft taught me that the most important asset I brought to the table was my Intellectual Capital and willingness to take calculated risks. Should I fail, which I rarely do, I fail fast, communicate it appropriately, learn fast with post mortems and documentation and then apply what I learned to the next engagement. When I fail, I learn great lessons that are not generally in books or isn't given away freely. I am "Commercially Adequate" in many roles and disciplines that are already defined or as yet to be defined. Simply I deliver and can get the job done on time within or under budget.

Introduction Letter

Grigsby Consulting LLC is a micro-business consultancy designed to offer the breadth of the areas of consulting I practice and operated out of the Carmel Arts and Design District in the City of Carmel, which is in Hamilton County , Indiana.

Here is an Executive Summary boiling it down to more than "Intellectual Capital for Your Business" but less than my complete background.

Executive Summary

Currently, David is focused on Software as a Service (SAaS) application integration between on-premise and cloud applications using Salesforce, DocuSign, Exacttarget to streamline virtual offices and remote personel to increase revenue production and market reach using new media technologies like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.David enjoys the freedom of being a consultant and the influence that a great consultant can have on customers, product development lifecycles, education and documentation. He has an insatiable desire for continued learning, new experiences, critical feedback, and breaking through existing boundaries. He is a natural driver and prefers to be instrumental to the process of change while influencing the necessary order, assessments and clarity so that the team members can execute to deliver the required deliverables on time and under budget while maintaining good morale. He has a honed understanding of commercially adequate and enjoys exceeding expectations. He will generally excel in customer satisfaction and enable success for his team members while delivering positive results quickly, using minimal resources and oversight by leveraging his strong desire to achieve, coupled with his diverse experience and insight.

Introduction

David has been developing and integrating applications since 1983, so the languages and platforms have all changed as has his tools and skills have.

His projects during this time ranged from assembly language Printer Driver for a 24 pin printer for Autocad, TSR's, boot loaders, Basic, Visual Basic, VB.NET, Access, Visual Foxpro, C & C++, C# client applications integrated into office, CRM, accounting and imaging packages.

Many of his projects have been client or web based enterprise line of business applications that have involved him from the UI in win forms, HTML, CSS, ASP or ASP.NET, to Business Logic in many languages in the middle tier components and leveraged web services communicating to the backend messaging and database services and repositories.

He can design, develop, deploy and debug your customer's integrated application from top to bottom with an accelerated ramp up time compared to other candidates.

In short, David's vast experience in the field with clients field applications married with work done in product and support groups will enable him to provide increased revenue, client retention among project success by his addition to your team.

It is not unusual for David to be given more responsibility in a short time than the job description calls for as his talents make him a value to many parts of your business.

David solves problems cost effectively levaraging his skills in:

• Software technology
• Relationship building
• Understanding the requirements
• Learning from critical feedback
• Meeting expectations

David has worked with Microsoft SQL Server since version 4.2 in 1994 when the command line tool OSQL was the "interface".

Whether it was Buy.com, Siebel, the Microsoft Product or Premier ISV support Group, David has been involved in designing, building, testing, tuning and deploying mobile applications using MS SQL Server , .NET and MS Embedded technologies in large scale field environments.

Regardless of whether it is in house applications development for on premise systems or SAaS in the cloud leveraging a procedural or object oriented language, binary, hex or decimal, in assembler, JSCRIPT or C#, David can keep it straight and see it working in his minds eye, communicate it with all stakeholders, get buy-in and then deliver it to the customer as a working solution, on-time, in or under budget with the requirements and expectations met.

Most practice areas of my consulting are focused on Information Technology, Business Process Automation and Operational Management which covers disciplines like Web Data Mining and Harvesting, Business Intelligence, Application Integration and Development of Web, Cloud, Server and Desktop.

My consulting services in these areas are tailored to scale the "Front and Back Office Systems" used in most businesses, from the micro-business all the way up to the medium enterprise.

Those services are based on their operational management needs of businesses with 1 to 500 employees and a yearly sales revenue below 100 million.

I enjoy working with large businesses when I am directly reporting to the project sponsor or key decision maker as a Corp to Corp (C2C) subcontractor.

I focus my passion, energy and skills on micro to medium businesses due to the personal satisfaction I derive from working closely with the stake holder.

Each consulting engagement is typically delivered in a short time frame, usually under 60 days, to maximize “Return on Investment ” to the client. I thrive on variety, new challenges and short time frames.

As you review my site, it is my goal that you quickly find the information about my services that will help you match them to your project needs.

I believe my consulting, project management and development talents, coupled with my passion, attention to detail and quest for excellence, will provide you a great “Return on Investment” for your projects.

I love being frugal and have a keen understanding of the phrase "Commercially Adequate" otherwise known as the "Point of Diminishing Return". That understanding, added to my focus on your project's budget, will keep us on target, so the project is completed on time.

Our initial informational, discussion or meeting is free of charge. I enjoy questions, comments or ideas on how technology, automation or operational management will enhance your business, so don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you via phone/voip, email, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, the contact us page or mail.

I appreciate your time in reviewing my site. I look forward to an opportunity to participate in and/or lead your project.

Sincerely,

David W. Grigsby
