"[Expera is] one of the most proactive partners that we had for the Worldwide Optimization (IO) strategy team at Microsoft.

De Pasque praises Expera for providing "an excellent document outlining where we are, where we want to be, and how to get there.

Anthony de Pasque Director of Infrastructure at Tata Communication Ltd
TrueBlue Inc. was recommended to Expera through Microsoft, and "were very pleased." The consultant "helped us do a self-assessment of our Enterprise security using the Core Infrastructure Optimization framework, [which] covered maturity assessments in End Point Protection, Edge Protection, Messaging Security, Collaboration Security, and Information Protection within our enterprise. [The Expera consultant] also provided an IT Security roadmap showing how we might optimize our security infrastructure in phases. He was very easy to work with, knew his stuff, and didn't try to push any particular products or services. He provided questionnaires for us to fill out, conducted numerous interviews, and THEN he produced quality results VERY quickly thereafter. He never let the project lag."
Bob Fitton IT Security Architect at TrueBlue Inc.

Jay Gore Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft
"It was a pleasure working with [Expera CEO] Krishnan on multiple occasions. He is a very organized individual who can change hats from CEO to Project Manager in the blink of an eye.

I look forward to working with Krishnan in the future."

Dana Cummins Asset Management Senior Analyst at MultiCare Health System
"[The Expera consultant] is one of those unusual people combining high intelligence, encyclopaedic product knowledge, and great interpersonal skills. I've encountered one or two other people with that combination, and like them, [the consultant] brings those skills and abilities to bear in providing business solutions that have greater immediate and measurable results than just a real smart guy with great skill set is able to achieve. This is a strongly worded endorsement, of a type I've written only once before. But he's only the second guy I've ever met that deserves it."
