testimonials

Ilyse is endowed with the ability to think creatively and out-of-the-box, and at the same time never takes a conservative and careful eye off of impact assessment for any idea being floated. She knows what questions to ask and has experience in many realms that she brings to bear on formulating her suggestions, and in planning and executing her work.

On working with Adept's lead consultant, Ilyse Kazar:

With a keen understanding that organizational cultures vary, Ilyse quickly grasps how the entity that she is working with functions and tailors her work accordingly. This was no small task given that DDC is an after school program operating in the confines of a major research university. Additionally, through her far-reaching vision, Ilyse was able to anticipate what our needs might be down the road and designed a product that was easily adaptable to future concerns that might arise.
 
Ilyse is very practical and brings broad value to the table as an interdisciplinary type of consultant. Beyond just having developed a fully integrated database for DDC, she became an integral part of the DDC team.

Adept delivers top-notch work in a manner that is very orderly and timely, yet creative, visionary and inspiring us to expand our view of the possibilities. Ilyse Kazar is a strategic thinker, is very focused on the project at hand, and is a seasoned professional. She helped us understand our business in a way which we had not been able to do ourselves. Adept delivered an excellent application that made all the difference in the world to us.  I recommend Adept consulting and developing services without reservation.

Adept Digital Evolution is a recent evolution of its own. It is the continuation, and broadening in mission, of "Datatude." Datatude, founded in 1997, focused solely on FileMaker Pro custom database consulting, design and development. Between 1997 and 2003, Datatude served the National Audubon Society as one of its key clients, until Datatude ceased developing with FileMaker Pro and branched out into other tools and services (eventually becoming Adept in January, 2009).

To Whom It May Concern:

Subject: Letter of Recommendation for Datatude and Ilyse Kazar

The Audubon Adventures department of the National Audubon Society has contracted with Ilyse Kazar of Datatude as our database designer since 1997. In any given year, we may receive upwards of 700 orders for a total of some 12,000 of our environmental education curriculum kits. Each one of these orders is entered into our database by a freelance typist who completes this task off-site. The data is then imported into our in-house computer network, checked for accuracy, and finally exported to our shipper's computer network in another state for order fulfillment. With the switching of data over three different systems, there is much room for technical and human error. However, due to the careful preparation and design of our database by Datatude, we are able to successfully coordinate workflow between our department and our data-entry and order-fulfillment vendors.

Hiring Datatude directly resulted in a vast improvement in our workgroup's efficiency and productivity.
