“I engaged SCGi to conduct an evaluation of our technical infrastructure. Their report was thorough, actionable, and pragmatic. Their staff was technically astute and professional. I could not have asked for a better roadmap for bringing the Commerce Energy infrastructure up to speed in order to support our tremendous growth and regulatory needs. SCGi also provided me with several technical professionals for project work. Their efforts were exceptional — technically sound, thorough, excellent communication, and at all times professional.”
— Kathleen Lindner, CIO, Commerce Energy
“SCGi helped me identify the IT projects that we needed to invest in now to create our best competitive advantage. Their process provided me all the information I needed to make an informed decision about the priority of the IT projects to undertake. SCGI then worked tirelessly with our IT team to see these projects come to fruition. We have gained tremendous efficiencies from the work that was done and have reduced our time to market by over 50%!”
— Jeff Hayes, CEO, CPP, Inc.
“In today’s economic landscape, businesses need partners to be successful. I have personally worked with Shimasaki Consulting Group (SCGi) at my past three companies with outstanding results. We have engaged them in various projects ranging from mission-critical to business-important projects. SCGi fully understands the scope, cost, and schedule associated to the project before assigning people. After understanding the business requirements, they align the best possible people to the project to deliver exceptional results. I have been very pleased with the cost benefit of leveraging resources at SCGi and would highly recommend using them for projects that need to be done right.“

“I have had the privilege of knowing and working closely with Rod Shimasaki at SCGI over the last decade. Bottom line – SCGI is a very strategic partner and sub-contractor. We trust and consider their resources to be an extension of our own employees. Rod and his team are committed, communicate with highest integrity and have delivered results for our customer with a 100% success track record. We put SCGI into our biggest and most complex projects ……. SCGI gets my highest and most enthusiastic reference.”
— Dave Butler, President, Enterprise Computing Solutions, Inc.
“SCGI helped us identify the root cause of our unstable IT platform.  They helped us put a process in place to transition our IT environment from a day to day concern to eventually an enabler for our business.  They stayed along side with us till we are firmly on track to achieve these goals.  Today, we still have much to do in our IT environment, but as a CFO, it is no longer on my list of worries.”
— Maria Arakaki, CFO, Independence Bank
“Rod was brought into Goldline to Project Manage a migration to a datacenter. Rod brought deep experience and knowledge of data center migration efforts that complimented our team very well. Rod’s interpersonal skills, methods, tools and Rod’s ability to keep people accountable and focused on tasks are perfect for what you want in this driving role. Rod’s experiences helped us shape raw thoughts into actionable plans and his data center experiences helped assure contingencies were in place to mitigate the risks at each juncture. Rod brought the appropriate tools to the table to not only facilitate our project communications and decision making but for us to have a foundation that allows future management of our infrastructure as well. Rod maintained our sense of urgency with patience and professionalism for interruptions and shifting corporate priorities that come with a long term project. I would love to work with Rod again and highly recommend him for large scale projects of this nature.”
