Testimonials
“When we were looking for a ninja Flash and ActionScript developer to work on a startup project, Randy approached us and said that he was the man to take on the job. Amidst a pile of proposals from design agencies, Randy offered three things:
1) The ability to communicate with us in plain English. Not every developer can take the complex concepts of code and reduce them down to something the client can easily comprehend. This ease of communication – augmented with the use of great project management tools implemented by Randy – has been essential in identifying our goals and hitting them.
2) Total dedication. Our project required not just white-sheet development of a Flash application, but the ability to integrate it with third party services and partners using some complex APIs. Randy was able to go away and talk to our partners with total confidence and implement the solution we needed – without us having to get caught in the middle. His professional attitude meant we never had to worry about putting him in front of our clients and partners to sort out a detail.
3) Great support and flexibility. Many developers don’t realise that client work can be incredibly demanding, but Randy has always taken the approach that our deadline is his deadline – and that allows us to deliver projects that our competitors cannot.
If you are a business, large or small, looking to outsource your development then I would heartily recommend [Troppmann&Co.]“

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Randy developing a number of interactive Flash pieces as teaching/learning tools that continuously set new standards of excellence. Beta testing of the recently completed Cash Flow Statement piece is bringing in raive reviews from instructors and students about ease of use but more importantly about the tool’s success in helping students achieve understanding in what is often cited as the most difficult topic in Introductory Financial Accounting. Randy’s work exemplifies a rare understanding of how technology tools should be developed for use in an educational setting to achieve the primary goal of appropriate student engagement.”

In 1997 COMPRU was nominated for an ASTech “Outstanding Leadership in Alberta Technology” award. Randy’s innovative research into colour matching facial prostheses using spectrophotometry and colour formulation software was a significant contributing factor to this achievement. The following are excerpts from edorsements for this nomination.
“COMPRU is in the research front in many fields, e.g. spectrophotometric determination of prosthetic coloration …”

“COMPRU has applied computerized technology in ways not previously attempted that must place it at the forefront of its particular service activity. To cite one example, computer technology is being applied at COMPRU to the matching of skin colour to provide a subtle blend of prosthesis to face to make the artificial body-part indiscernable. This raises what was previously a somewhat unpredictable artform to the level of an exact science.”
