Senior Director and Infrastructure Project Management at MLBAM
I had the pleasure of working with D Evans Consulting as they joined the PeopleSoft conversion team at North Well Health (formerly North Shore LIJ) where we converted two separate hospitals from their legacy HR systems onto the health systems PeopleSoft HCM environment.
One of the key consultants performed in the role of Project Manager and was selected based on the focus on detail, payroll expertise and general work ethic. The project had started later than anticipated so we needed a resource that could hit the ground running, be a driving force to allow us to gain momentum and meet the extremely aggressive timeline for go-live.
D Evans Consulting Inc., did not disappoint! They were persistent, thorough, organized and methodical with all responsibilities. They provided training and insight to the business teams, provided regular feedback, escalated items when necessary and ensured that all teams stayed focused on the priorities and objectives.
Lastly, D Evans Consulting played a huge role in our internal audit process. Numerous documents related project management, issue tracking and testing and reconciliation was provided with endless hours in discussions with the auditors and provided updates and supporting information as requested.
D Evans Consulting was a major component of our success!

I am writing to recommend Darlene Evans, CEO, of D Evans Consulting Inc. for Business Solutions and Services. I have known Darlene Evans for 3 years and worked closely aligning her organization with Human Capital Management Clients.

She exceeded all expectations placed on her and I would work with her again in the future.
