Testimonials

• For well over a decade, Jay Talbott has been our company’s Alpha database consultant. We were immediately impressed with how quickly he learned the needs and the nuances of our business, and from the start showed that he valued us as a client, treating all of our projects with the utmost importance and professionalism.  Not only does Jay possess exceptional programming knowledge, but he is extremely thorough in his work while still meeting every deadline.  Over the years, he has tackled our most complex projects without hesitation, and when appropriate, will share his ideas of alternate – and often better - solutions. That said, what I have come to appreciate most is Jay’s personable, patient, and friendly nature, which has turned the most difficult of projects into a true pleasure. 

Over the last year, Jay has introduced other team members from Talbott Associates, including Justin, who is working on an extremely complex online database for one of our clients.  Justin’s work has exceeded our expectations so far, and we are eager to continue our relationship with Talbott Associates.  I highly recommend Talbott Associates as a programming partner.

•   We have been working with Jay since 1995. He helped us with our first DOS database, and at our urging, converted it to a Windows database. We run our day-to-day operations on the program that he developed. This application has been working quite well for us, and Jay has worked with us to allow it to meet our growing needs. Most recently, Jay worked with us to make the order entry component upload invoices automatically into our accounting software. This has eliminated the need to manually enter the invoices a second time, saving us time and eliminating errors. When we have had emergency issues, Jay made them a top priority, and addressed them immediately, ensuring that we could continue providing our customers with product on a timely basis. His years of experience and business knowledge have given us exactly what we need. - Chad Sinon President, BPG, inc.  

•  Four years ago I was faced with a great dilemma. After working with an Alpha programmer for several years, he was retiring. This was a very difficult position. I had to find a new programmer and was quite concerned. I got Jay's name from my former programmer and made the contact, not knowing what to expect. Four years later and a lot of great work together and I can say that Jay Talbott is not just a great programmer, he is a pleasure to work with. The amazing thing about our work is that for the first two years we never met in person, all of our work was done online and by phone. In all we have met personally only twice. Today when working on projects, we use software that allows Jay to connect from Kentucky to my computer in Maryland and we can in-real time review development, address fixes and quickly identify opportunities for program enhancements.

Jay's ability to listen to my needs and give me back exactly what I need has been a great plus in this business relationship. His solid understanding of Alpha, his imagination in finding creative professional solutions and his great patience with me, when I am not sure exactly what I want, has made him one of the greatest business resources I have and our product a market leader.

For anyone contemplating a data base project, I have two suggestions: Use Alpha as your development engine and Jay Talbott as your programming partner. You won't go wrong, that is a winning combination.
