Welcome!

This is my first post, not only on this blog page, but on any blog page ever, so let me give you a quick introduction and overview.

I've been an independent consultant and owner of OMS Consulting Partners, LLC for over 15 years (although the name has changed once or twice). We provide technology consulting services for the Retail, Telecom and Healthcare industries. Mostly we work with ERP systems (the systems that do most of the tracking of the business) that run on databases like Oracle, etc. We also teach a lot of people (over 6,500 at last count) how to use all this stuff, from MS Word to Visual Basic for Applications to PL/SQL, etc.

I've worked for lots of companies in lots of places including Australia, Canada and at last count, over 15 states in the US. Some of the companies you've probably heard of like Nextel/Sprint, Pier1 and La-Z-Boy, and others only if you happen to live in that area or be in that industry like Mercer Healthcare, Rotman's, Bedding companies like Mattress Firm or Mattress Warehouse, etc.

At any rate, I am also a recently ordained PMP certified project manager, and part of the agreement between us PMP's and the organization that gives us this title is that we have to 'give back' to the community. We're asked to do this by sharing our knowledge, experiences, best practices and recommendations to help expand the Project Management knowledge base and help others grow in their knowledge. I started by adding things to my company website www.omsconsultingpartners.com, but the website was starting to look more like a blog, which got me thinking...

So, that's the purpose of this blog, is to humbly set out some of the very little that I know about anything, and see if it's possible someone could benefit from it. I hope that this information is useful to you.

In your service,

Jay Brummett, PMP
