A close friend of mine in the the IDM world just called me the other day saying that a company out of Tampa Florida, EMS Consulting, sent him a resume of an example employee they have named “Gene” that is their lead architect. This resume is MY RESUME! If anyone else out there is receiving resumes of so-called “employees” of this company, you may want to compare it with mine at AdamCallen.com first!

Here’s the story…

Last fall, EMS contacted me to help with a project, University of Louisville. After 2 weeks on the job I saved UofL thousands of dollars in unneeded hardware costs and cut the project time down almost three months, but that’s besides the point. I got sick while there… in the middle of the day. One of the UofL employees even drove me to the hospital (super awesome guy and I can’t thank him enough!). Turns out that it was just a side effect of some nasty flu I had, but that didn’t matter. When I returned the next day, the lead on the project accused me of taking METH! WTF?! Needless to say, I didn’t return.

Now their going around telling people that they have a guy, “Gene” is the name I’ve seen so far, that works for them. They’re sending out MY RESUME and MY CLIENT LIST as an example of employees that they have on staff. I was never even on staff with these people. It was a short-term contract.

So if you hear that they’ve worked at Tyco, University of Mass, and others, they’re LYING! This all goes back to what I keep telling people. CHECK COMPANY’S REFERENCES!

I kept all of the dealings between me and EMS quite with regards to what happened at UofL out of professional courtesy, but this I can’t let go by.

If you are an IDM consultant, you need to stay away from this company. I personally know 2 other people that have been burned from them!

If you’re looking to hire a company to implement your IDM project, take note of their business practices! I can easily recommend many other great companies with excellent reputations if you need them!

If you work for Oracle, or know anyone that does, please spread the word about this company internally! They will only wind up killing your name in the long run!

Lastly, please spread the word to as many people as possible about them so that others won’t be scammed as well.

Thank you!
