Dear Mr. Sanjeev Nadkarni and Mr. Sanjeev Godbole

"I would like to take this time to extend my personal and professional thanks for the great efforts you and your team at Sahir Projects have made for Masoneilan on the development of the ValSpeQ 3 series software. Without your considerable knowledge, expertise and patience, we would not have the success we are having today with our Sizing and Selection Software.

As you know, this project was on it’s way to being totally scrapped due to other consulting firms?inability to meet Masoneilan’s complex requirements for the tool. After several years of effort by EDS Consulting, and several more years by KPMG Consulting, we still did not have a software product that was able to meet the minimum requirements for our users. The sad thing is that these companies were tasked with only finding a solution provider or tool to make our expectations a reality.

When these firms abandoned us, we were left with bits and pieces of our own software sub-components with no tool to integrate them into. The expense incurred by the larger firms and the amount of time that had lapsed (5 Years I believe), left the project extremely vulnerable to cancellation. The loss of years also made us loose any competitive edge we may have developed in the past over our competition. If the project was to succeed, we would need big leaps in technology along with a very aggressive timeline.

Thanks to your efforts, we were able to develop a tool in-house that not only met the user requirements, but surpassed them in many areas. Your extensive background in software development has made the in-house development of the tool a reality rather than an impossibility. From brain-storming, design and architecture to implementation, test, documentation and deployment, your contributions have been exemplary.

Your team not only was able to help us meet aggressive deadlines, but the advancements in software technology you have suggested and helped us implement, continues to be talked about by our customers in a very positive way.

As a manufacturing company, we don’t have the necessary infrastructure required to develop, test, document, deploy and support such a complex piece of software world wide. With your knowledgeable staff, you have been able to fill the gaps in our infrastructure to make this a successful development effort.

In my 18 years of software development, I have never had a positive experience working with a consulting team, until now. Though our countries are far apart, I am astounded at what we have been able to achieve, in such a short time. Our communication back and fourth on this project has been candid and at the same time technically satisfying.

As we continue to adapt and evolve our software, I am confident that your team will continue to provide us with the technical know-how and expertise that has become trademark qualities of your staff. I am especially excited about working with your team on future .Net implementation and Oracle MRP integration for our software.

At this time I would like to especially thank members of your team whom I have had the pleasure of working with directly.

and everyone in the Sahir ‘Software Test and Documentation?team. If I have forgotten anyone, I apologize, many have worked on making this project a success that I have not had the pleasure of interacting with directly.
