To whom it may concern:
Recently, the Presstek Software Engineering department had a requirement to develop a Windows 95/Windows NT compatible application. The members of the software engineering group at Presstek, while well versed in various other operating systems, had very little experience in writing applications to run in a 32 bit Windows environment. The search for a resolution to this problem led us to the discovery of Craftech and Lee Mowatt.

Our goals and objectives were as follows:

1. We needed to develop the application as quickly as possible.
2. Our software engineers had to be able to support the code written by the consultant.
3. We wanted to use the consultant as a resource for defining the best system approach for our application.
4. We wanted the consultant to act as a mentor for our software engineers.

I outlined these goals to Lee in our initial phone conversation. His only reservation was whether or not he and the software engineer who would be his main contact would be able to work together from a personality standpoint. I was fairly confident that this would not be a problem, but I fully agreed with Lee's concern.

Lee was able to work closely with our software engineer, Corky Benson, on both the future support issue and the development of a Presstek "application specific" API. Corky found Lee very easy to work with in all cases. In support of this statement, I am attaching a letter written to Lee from Corky.

Because Craftech and Presstek are within 5 miles of each other, we decided the majority of Lee's efforts be conducted at Craftech. Most of our communication was by phone. Occasionally, Lee visited Presstek for program updates and detailed functional discussions.

Although the project is not 100% complete, we feel we have successfully achieved the majority of our goals and we are confident we will complete the remainder. Lee has given us what appears to be a very solid application in a reasonable period of time. Lee's working relationship with all of us at Presstek has been extremely enjoyable from both a professional and personal standpoint.

If you have any specific points you would like to discuss with either myself or Corky Benson, please feel free to call us at Presstek.
