Our Clients

Sleek consulting has been an invaluable resource for Boston College for many years.  Their vast knowledge of Millennium and fundraising database best practices has been such an incredible asset for us. They guided us through the testing and implementation of our last upgrade with the great ease and attention to detail that only comes from years of experience.  Their optimization and enhancement ideas not only helped us work faster, but smarter.  We all at BC look forward to working with Sleek again.”

Shawn Reddish
Associate Director, Data Management and Reporting

Sleek Consulting was key to our conversion process, helping us to understand the business rules, and they were the “missing link” between our new conversion team and the technical staff.

Guillermo Anaya, Database Manager, Applications and Conversion Team member

Those of us on the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles conversion team was impressed with not only with their thorough fundraising knowledge combined with their technical database expertise, but also found Sleek Consultants to be most pleasant, organized and easy to understand. They were invaluable in helping our conversion go more smoothly.

Suzanne Szalay, Development Research, Conversion Team

The United States Olympic Committee went through a conversion and implementation in early 2001. We worked closely with Sleek Consulting in developing policies and procedures for the database. Their years of experience and expertise were invaluable to us during this time. They were extremely helpful and made several on-site visits and were “on-call” for quite a period of time for any questions that arose. Their professionalism and enthusiasm for the task at hand was commendable.

Janet Hotzel, Database Administrator

Sleek Consulting has worked with us for more than a year. They provided us operational support for reporting, data cleanup, data management, training, reference materials, and much more. Their assessment of our needs, recommendations for implementing best practices and how to bring us leaps and bounds beyond where we were invaluable.

I would strongly recommend them to anyone who needs help within their Development Services area. They are the absolute best!”

Jan Palermo, Director of Development

Thank you for all that you have done for Nobles this year. You handled each and every one of our issues we presented to you with competence and, perhaps more importantly, you imparted a sense of “calm” that allowed all of us to move forward with the other daily tasks of running a development
office.

Sleek has been a complete life-saver for us over the past 2 years. They have been instrumental in times of personnel turnover and has assisted with many of the major functions of our office. Their consultant’s background is so extensive that no matter what you throw at them, they respond with professional, concrete help and advice. They are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and complete the tasks central to a Development Office.

Some of the projects that Sleek has helped us with have been the Fundraising audit, NCOA, Annual Report, Campaign Report, CASE/NAIS Reporting, data integrity, and many other items. Sleek is someone you can call and count on no matter what the topic! Beyond being one of the most knowledgeable people that I know in Development, they were a pleasure to work with!

Jeffrey Berndt, Director of Development

Sleek Consulting worked with Illinois State University over a 7 month period as project managers for a database conversion project. When Sleek was hired, Illinois State had been in the process of upgrading our fund-raising database. Not only were we dealing with implementation issues but staff changes significantly impacted the project timeline. Many believed the project would never reach full closure.

Our decision to hire Sleek as the project manager was the best investment the University could have made. Sleek’s organizational and project management skills are outstanding. They are highly professional and their interpersonal skills and enthusiasm helped energize staff to believe that the project would succeed. Sleek’s help and support were critical in the implementation of our new database. Sleek was able to communicate effectively with everyone involved in the project – from highly technical Systems Support staff to casual end-users of the system. They helped organize the project into manageable elements and were a positive force driving us to meet our timelines. In a matter of a few weeks, They managed to get things back on track. They literally saved an otherwise ill-fated system conversion project.

Sleek Consulting provides real solutions to real problems. We learned a great deal from them and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Jill A. Jones, Executive Director Development, Donor and Information Services

The Sleek Consulting team provided key technical and fundraising operational support during a critical transition period while we hired a new Director of Advancement Services and during the database conversion to the Banner system. Their team worked with management on priorities to make key decisions yet also handled a number of day to day needs such as the generation of mailing data and daily reports. They did an outstanding job to not only provide stability but to move our program ahead.

Edward Chiu, Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement

Sleek’s guidance and vision have been instrumental in moving our organization through the total overhaul of our gift processing operations. For the last nine months, they have used their extensive knowledge of development operations, systems and project management to help us move forward towards best practices in this area. As a finance and accounting professional, I was impressed with Sleek from our very first meeting. They realize how important it is that Development and Finance systems and personnel work together. They led our project team to accomplish a great deal in a short window of time. I highly recommend Sleek and have come to rely on their experience and sound advice. We truly could not have accomplished our goals without them.
