people I have ever known. From a personality perspective he is top notch.  Having Eddie on your team
provides everyone a sense of comfort and reassurance knowing that everything he touches will be done
as close to perfect as humanly possible.  And, from a managerial perspective Eddie is someone who

Comments and Letters of Recommendation
(from the many people I serve)


Jonathan Abramson, Sr. Desktop Architect at Kaplan University

Eddie has been an integral part of software deployment for Kaplan and a very important member of the Desktop Engineering
team, as well as supporting the Orlando center. Eddie works tireless hours and always stays until the job is complete. He is
always willing to work on even the most difficult and last minute high priorities and never quits on them. Even if it means starting
 on them late on a Friday afternoon, he stays on the project until it is completed.

A perfect example of this is the effort he gave on the multiple iterations needed for the latest Kaplan Genesys Toolbar roll out.
Starting late one Friday afternoon in November, we had multiple redo's of this package due to rapidly changing requirements.
Eddie stayed on the call until after 9:30 that night creating and testing multiple iterations of packages until we had a final one
completed with all the needed changes.

Thank you for all you do from the shadows.

Michael Ricardo,
Operations Analyst at Brookfield Properties

Eddie Jackson is one of the most dedicated IT individuals I have ever worked with. His passion for IT is second to none, and he is
extremely knowledgeable in the business process. His scripting talent is very much coveted, and is a valuable asset to any IT team.
I have no doubt that he will be successful at anything he does!

Zack Webb, IT Manager at Kaplan University

I feel extremely privileged to have Eddie Jackson as a member of the Desktop Engineering Team. He exhibits all of  the Kaplan
Core Values: Integrity, Knowledge, Support, Opportunity, and Results. Eddie's dedication to his job is shown by the quality
work that he does daily supporting his peers and the Kaplan business units. Eddie is an outstanding employee and an asset to
my team and the Kaplan organization.

Brian Jung, Transition Services at Ellucian

Eddie was a Senior Tech at Halifax Hospital when I was only a Tech there. In the relatively short amount of time I was employed
at Halifax Hospital; I could not stress the importance of Eddie's influence upon me when it comes to developing my knowledge
and career decisions. Eddie was always on time, worked very diligently, and had more patience than I knew any person could
ever have. Especially with all the questions I threw at him on a day to day basis regarding all kinds of things. His ability to manage
multiple projects and actually get work done on those multiple projects is still a skill set I desire and have yet to get close on but
it's something that I strive for due to the impact he had left on me. If I recall, during the short time I worked with him, he had won
the Employee of the Month at Halifax Hospital which I knew was much deserved even though I only worked with him for a short
period of time.  I can't stress enough how much of a valuable asset Eddie would be to any organization and how his influence
affects others in a positive light .

Christopher Collins
, Technology Services Lead, Kaplan University

Hello. I am the Kaplan Technology Services Lead for the East Group.   I have been working with Eddie Jackson on creating
an important distribution package for our ground campuses. This package is the key piece of software for all of our Dental
Programs.   This package has turned out to be quite challenging to create. It requires specific permissions, multiple restarts,
and responses to non-standard dialog boxes. Also, the company that makes the software has said that it cannot be done.  
This did not stop Mr. Jackson. We tested the package today and it has been a complete success. His extensive knowledge
of package development, creative problem-solving ability, and refusal to give up have saved countless man hours in the field.  
Please pass along my gratitude to Mr. Jackson for all of his hard work, perseverance, and patience. It has been a pleasure
working with such a professional and knowledgeable member of your team.

Brad Ainslie, Network Administrator at Amerisys


Eddie's work as a Software Packaging Engineer at Kaplan is nothing short of magic.  He has some of the most brilliant and
inspired ideas to make software installation automatic and provide accurate user feedback during the installation process. 
Eddie's scripting knowledge with VBScript and HTA is second to none.  His testing methods and standards are even better. 
His packages are solid across multiple platforms, which is no easy feat.  He tests for every conceivable possibility to ensure
the quality of his work.  Eddie is constantly looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, which is a trait that every good IT
Pro should have.  Regardless of position, Eddie would be an asset to any organization.  I can only hope that I am fortunate
enough to work with him again in the future.

Bonnie Sanderson, Owner, Syntris Technology

It was my pleasure to work with Eddie on a lengthy project at Florida Health Care Plans.  He was involved in  every aspect
from the beginning and planning stages through implementation.  As an integral part of the project, Eddie approached every
task with enthusiasm.  He was knowledgeable, professional and well-prepared.  Eddie is a person of good humor, and well liked
by everyone.  Eddie would be a true asset to any company.

Jose Fuentes, IT Tech, Florida Hospital


Eddie is the tech of all techs so to speak. I'd have to say he one of the most knowledgable persons I've encountered not just
with technology but many other subjects. He is constantly striving and improving himself to become better with his career and
endorse Eddie Jackson with his endevours.

Telly Belanger, Technical Support Analyst, Halifax Medical Center

I worked with Eddie for a year at Halifax Medical Center. In every engagement, Eddie demonstrated a depth of product
knowledge, a broad understanding of customer needs as well as an ability to provide the most appropriate solution to the
customer. His technical knowledge, attention to detail and dedication, makes him a valuable asset to any organization.
I can easily recommend him to anyone in need of such a high-caliber individual.

Charles Sintes, Computer Lab Technician, Nicholson School of Communications

Mr. Jackson has shown me through several interactions that he was and is dependable, strategic, and energetic. Eddie's
insight with technologies has been an asset and resource that I have depended on for many years. Mr. Jackson has been a
superior consultant in our combined efforts and I look forward to working with him in future endeavors.
