Additional feedback from colleagues, clients and delivery partners.
“Roy and I worked together on several projects that were behind and had to be turned around. He worked very hard to promote collaboration while driving the client teams to meet challenging deadlines. As the projects spanned nine time zones, Roy consistently made himself available to align and collaborate with team members. He also challenged the project team to improve where our approach was not sufficient to deliver the required results. In the end, all phases of the project went live on time and with very high data quality. I very much enjoyed working with Roy and would request him again.
“I personally want to thank you for all your support, guidance and patience during our long calls and for everything you taught me.
“It was nice working with you in building QM roles from scratch. You have very good patience in listening to others. Keep it up.
“The business SCM Process Owner is a challenge to deal with, and you did it very well … you created just the right impression.
“Thank you for all your work and for making the process as painless as possible. I hope to work with you again in the future.
“I would like to take a moment to recognize Roy Harris for assisting in the delivery of a backlog Remedy ticket. Due to resource constraints, this ticket was in the backlog for an extended period. While I took it over in the 11th–hour, it became apparent that a layer of QM expertise with Biopharm’s bespoke use of Samples/MICS, ECO’s, etc. was missing from the overall Testing picture. Roy took on a comprehensive and detailed technical approach to Verification and Validation Testing that allowed us to move the change forward with confidence in the overall quality of the fix. Roy also demonstrated his knowledge of ABAP coding (working with 2 offshore developers), specifically identifying areas where their code needed to be amended to produce the desired result.
“You did a brilliant job bringing our team together, giving direction and getting us back on track, and you helped build great team morale. Your immense knowledge will be missed.
“GSK is losing a team player and good work ability … thanks for mentoring me and guiding me.
“Thanks for all your hard work in response to the Parma audit request. Your focus and quick response to this was outstanding and allowed us to further build confidence in our overall capability.
“I learned so much from you because you are always willing to help. You kept on surprising all of us how big a knowledge you have of SAP.
“Due to Roy's dedication and willingness to solve all issues as good and as fast as possible, the go-live was a full success. He not only worked on the task assigned to him but also gave valuable input to the existing template by pointing out areas of improvement. Roy worked in close cooperation with other SAP teams, for instance the material master or warehouse management team. I have been consistently impressed by both Roy's attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with our internal clients at UCB and within our SAP core team. On top of that he was always reachable for me, although I was in Germany and Roy was based in Poland. I recommend him without reservation.
“You did very well. I want to thank you for this and your professionalism. You were an excellent resource. You made it happen as smoothly as possible. I really appreciated working and collaborating with you.
“Thanks for all your help! You have done an excellent job of supporting us on site and remotely. Our module is much farther ahead and more prepared than any of the other modules and that is thanks to you.
“The QM module is the one area where we do not have problems.
“You have good 'mensen-kennis' (people-knowledge).
