Gary Gowans: "Pick" Multi-value Systems specialist
Current Status :
Shock Horror! Someone's given me a 'proper' job... So, I'm now a genuine full-time, salaried employee - so far, so good. Which means this space may be used for something else! Keep it bookmarked, you never know...

An experienced systems analyst and application software developer with extensive knowledge of Pick, including Universe, Unidata, jBase, Reality, etc - even a bit of OpenInsight... Fully versed in DataBasic programming, Proc building, and Access/English/Retrieve Reporting languages.
Varied background including Financial Services, Local Government, Health Industry and Manufacturing Control. Considerable Change Management experience and full project life-cycle knowledge.
So, if you need someone to design, develop, program or migrate your "Pick" system, then look no further! Or maybe you have an in-house system that could do with some TLC or routine maintenance? I would be happy to do a full system analysis and document your existing system with on-going 'as and when' support contract.
Available on contract, full-time, part-time or fixed fee basis. Very happy to discuss your requirements and determine the best approach.
Contact me by e-mail initially and we can get the ball rolling...
Meantime, feel free to browse my site (essentially an on-line CV).
