Testimonial

I have been a speaker at numerous conferences with Bernard and have always found his presentations to be highly original, devoid of "fluff", and genuinely useful. Bernard is a master at thinking outside of the box and coming up with innovative solutions using new or old tools. He has a firm grasp on the many complexities of XML and high volume document structure and has worked with a very demanding and diverse customer base. I call on Bernard often for technical advice and have never been disappointed. I recommend him highly for all things related to publishing, web, UI and content management. He is also a very gifted author with enviable writing and editing skills.
