Professional Services
I am happy to take the time to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of A Corporate Catalyst, Inc. (ACC). The company has gone beyond my firms expectations in developing our web site, www.american-immigration.com, and continues to render an excellent service, updating adding to our existing site and actively marketing the site, expanding our user rates every month. This treatment is given not only to our English site, but to the German and Spanish sites as well. In that regard, their translation services are indispensable. Meeting our launch date, completing new projects on time and meeting all other deadlines, it is clear that one of ACC's virtues is its timeliness. Whenever I ask to make a change to the site or add new content, it is done the very same day.

Effective marketing, which I consider very important, is understood well by ACC. Before listing us in search engines world wide, they structured the site so as to receive top billing. They are always making useful and creative suggestions about how to better position the site for maximum exposure and continue to tie us into new directories and search engines on a regular basis. For example, they are great at explaining my web site statistics so that I can better understand how to meet the needs of consumers. Plus, its a lot of fun to see that persons from far away places like The Congo, Germany and Korea are logging in to my site and I receive leads everyday.

Equally appreciated is ACC's commitment to keeping its work within budget. I have not spent a dollar more than agreed from the beginning. Moreover, they have done much more than promised, without an unreasonable corresponding increase in cost. I truly believe that they care about my firm and want to see us prosper through the web site and other marketing initiatives. There is no question that this is their top priority. The site has earned praise from users and professionals alike and many other sites have chosen to list us as a primary resource on their site (www.crimelynx.com). It is very pleasing to the eyes, and users have often commented on the sites usability and useful content. I own a law firm and, although I'm the lawyer, they actually took the initiative to begin developing content. I'm not sure I would have known where to begin without their proactive approach. Now, I find myself using my site as my first point of research resources. One of the important aspects of my site are inquires and consultation requests from prospective clients. The site offers plenty of opportunities for users to submit e-mail's and also contains a streamlined consultation form, designed by ACC to enable my firm to obtain all necessary information from clients, all over the world and maintain it in a database on a secured server for follow-up. And I am informed of new submissions through their automatic alert messaging system. In fact, this is how we were contacted by a large corporate client within the first two months, which alone will more than cover the cost of building and maintaining the site! Not being a techie myself, it came as a great relief that ACC was always there to quickly render technical assistance and advice about the site and the Internet. They are readily available at all times of the day (and often night) and consistently reply, usually within the hour at the latest, to my e-mail inquiries in a friendly and professional manner. But, in addition to my appreciation of their quality service, I have come to feel that the people at A Corporate Catalyst are my partners and friends. I recommend ACC unreservedly.

eLearning Web based Training Site
This is to thank you for the excellent work you did with Youth Crime Watch website. You helped me gain a clearer understanding of what was technically feasible given our time and budget constraints. You also helped me and my colleague, Dr. Harris, Director of Technical Assistance, delimit the scope of our distance learning project. For a project that we were working on over a period or months, within a matter of days you quietly assessed our needs and presented a rationale and framework for the project resulting in over 75% visualization of the outcome. In the course of our collaboration you distinguished yourself as an active listener, a diplomatic liaison, attentive, responsive and extremely customer oriented. Because you were so observant, supportive, positive, and enthusiastic we were able to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time. You are a self-starter who takes initiative; and these attributes combined with your process engineering skills make you a resourceful complex problem-solver capable of formative solutions. I look forward to working with you in the future. It is a pleasure to work with a person who is knowledgeable in instructional and graphic design, able to multitask and values differences in people.

Website Development and Promtion
A Corporate Catalyst is assisting us in developing the website and marketing our business. I was very pleased with the results. I must say, the site was produced ahead of schedule and within budget. We got really high-quality custom animations and very, very creative work. They are easy to work with and changes are always made on a timely basis. I am impressed with how they are able to take existing artwork and create flash movies, along with handling the details from getting my domain name, site design, creating, hosting, publishing, and promoting the site.

I have had nothing but positive feed back from family, friends, and business associates. I highly recommend A Corporate Catalyst, Inc. to anybody who wants a uniquely distinct project done professionally and accurately. They are doing the 305 proud – globally!

Website Design and Architecture
The web site (A Corporate Catalyst did for you) is looking GREAT man!!!! I gotta say, one heck of a job there, it's tight for a website, really. I know the general population can't see the difference between some cheeseball site and a Yahoo! site, but I can, and yours is looking good. Nice professional colors, font, and all. Different languages even. I see you got headline scripts and all that stuff running, nice. Very exciting!!!! Keep on ROLLIN' !!!!

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
“I would like to express my gratitude for the prompt, courteous and determined help that Canon has been receiving from your company for over two years.
Ms. Deborah Rivers has always been very customer oriented. It is what I call Excellent Service and we feel very satisfied.”
Mr. Horacio Cheng, Canon Latin America

Business Development - Advertising Agency
Let me express my pleasure in working with you. . . From start to finish, you were the consummate professional. Despite the outside forces of indecision and delays by the client, you consistently managed to pull out facets of these projects on deadline, at cost, and as a bonus, providing results more impressive than the client expected. No juggler on a Las Vegas stage has ever had to keep more balls in the air at once, and yet you managed to not only keep those balls afloat, but to excel at the same time. It was truly amazing. I have worked with a lot of information professionals in the course of my career, and have seen many fall apart under pressures like these. However, you managed to coordinate the startup of a newsletter, the design of a corporate mission and identity, the production of a corporate video, and the design and placement of a trade show display at the same time, with just two months lead time. Success in just one of these projects would have been a lot to ask. Unqualified success is all is simply beyond the pale. Your ability to handle the details is one I wish I shared, and one which I'm sure will serve
your clients well.

CRM Business Developement and Training
I have worked with Ms. Deborah Rivers since 1996. Over the years, she has proven to be one of our finest resellers. Our senior executives have recognized her contributions and commented that, "Deborah's firm is a model which we rate others by.” She is a team player who follows up on business opportunities from beginning to end. She relates well to people in a variety of positions, cultures and industries. Her list of long-term satisfied clients speaks for her business integrity and ethics. Her business development efforts have earned her recognition as "Top Marketing Partner" at our recent International Conference, Authorized Marketing Partner of the Month. She has produced sales levels that qualify for International Master VAR status. Additionally, she has earned certification on all platforms, has developed add-on products, served as a beta test site, participated in conferences since the early 90's, and is a charter Authorized Training Center (ATC). Her clients report that she goes beyond the call of duty to assure they receive quality customer service and is very knowledgeable about systems. They also comment on how she is not only able to design a solution to fit their needs, but possesses a personality that ensures the customer is in excellent and capable hands in every aspect of their business solution. Over the years we have received many letters complimenting her ongoing efforts along with upgrades for our products. Her positive attitude and hard working traits have lead to her taking on the label as an evangelist for CRM on several continents speaking on this and related topics. She is a true professional who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. I would firmly recommend her for a position in sales, marketing, information technology, management, or training.

Tech - Internet Training
Ms. Deborah Rivers is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced instructors I have ever had the good fortune to meet. She was able to give instructions and assist me to the point where I could operate my laptop computer's TeleMagic contact management, word processing and accounting system is a minimum amount of time. I feel sure that without her assistance it would have taken me several months to obtain the same degree of proficiency. Deborah has an uncanny ability to teach to the level of understanding other students. Through her gentle persistence and teaching ability I am now able to accomplish tasks in much less time. Thanks to Deborah, I now have the time to devote to my clients and business.
