Testimonials
Edson recently identified the root cause of a nagging WMOS issue that had been plaguing us for a while. No one else on the team believed Edson's root cause analysis to be correct. Two weeks later, the team reported back to me that after thorough analysis, they stood corrected. Edson's assessment was the correct one. He's a sharp individual and really understands Manhattan's WMOS.

We have a lot of WMOS issues after our initial go-live, but I'm confident that if anyone can address these issues and shore up the implementation's stability, it is Edson.
