Shahid N. Shah

" I had the pleasure of attending Shahid's social media webinar and found it to be very informative, full of great tips for next month's HIMMS. His direct style really makes you take a good look at where you stand to improve your messaging and how best to prioritize solving the customer's problems and see things from their perspective. "

" Shahid is a man you can count on! When times get tough and you look around to see who will fight the fight with you, Shahid will be by your side. He is self motivated, extremely smart and capable of getting it done. He is a superb manager and also willing to roll up his sleeves to do it himself when that is the best solution. We can all learn a few things from Shahid! "

" I met Shahid at the Dell Think Tank on Healthcare earlier this year. He was very knowledgeable about the economics behind HITECH and the widespread adoption of EMR technology, and how these fit within the regulatory framework. He obviously has a great deal of experience in the industry, and provides thought leadership. I look forward to working with Shahid in future projects and/or initiatives. "

" Shahid was hired by our company as a consultant to establish fundamental changes in how we develop. His insight into Design Patterns, Testing, Refactoring, Project Management and his grasp of advanced programming came together on a large project. If not for his guidance, this project of ours would not have been able to meet the deadlines set for us. "

" Shahid is supremely talented in all aspects of business, marketing, start ups, health IT, platforms, frameworks, architecture, and so much more he constantly astounds me. But what makes him really stand out is his ability to sift through your needs and simplify everything. Ultra pragmatic and never burdened with a hidden agenda He is very unique and highly recommended. "

" Shahid is a rare leader in Technology . I and my friends consult him on important issues related to technology, and he has instant answers ! His blog www.healthcareguy.com is highly recommended for people into HIT.

Above all, Shahid is not driven for money and he is always willing to offer his expertise when needed . A great human being !! "

" Shahid provided me with valuable advice in establishing a global database for supporting clinical trials. His deep understanding of the subject area and high integrity left a deep mark on the project. "

" When I talk about Shahid several things come to immediate thought. He consistently overdelivers, is a plethora of useful expertise and information, has shown himself to be an advocate and champion of both technology and innovation and he is open and honest. There is nothing more refreshing that working with someone who is not afraid to voice an opinion that is best for the company, not just what the executive wants to hear. If 4 stars were the best rating...I'd have to give him 5. "

" I worked with Shahid for almost one and half year, and found him truly inspirational when it comes to guiding and mentoring a raw team.It was amazing to found him so profound in all technical areas, he guided us in almost all areas with his rich technical and business thoughts, I must say one of his key managerial strength is his ability to easily zooms in and out on any small to big issues in no time. I admire his technique where he leveraged his technical strengths to get maximum issues resolved on no time on our daily calls and motivated us to get the best out of us.I definitely look forward to have an association with him again.

He is gifted at taking complex processes and distilling them down to their essence for the purpose of re-engineering and automation. He excels at every level of information engineering from the most conceptual and theoretical all the way down to bits and bytes. He has a tireless energy and focus, and never rests until the customer is "thrilled" with the outcome. His project management skills are state-of-the-art in terms of using agile methods and the most recent technologies, and yet he always matches the perfect mix of tools to the job at hand. He is a true master-craftsman when it comes to coding, consistently staying current on emerging frameworks, languages, and technologies. But, most importantly, he is extremely collegial and a joy to work with. In fact, he is the rare type of guy who can exhaust my ability to come up with new superlatives, and that is no small feat. I cannot recommend him highly enough. "
