I've worked closely with Abhishek while implementing a new implementation of the Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) system here at Varian Medical Systems. I was impressed with Abhishek's ability to resolve complicated business requirements via thoughtful technical solutions within Varicent. I found him to be a very helpful resource during the implementation lifecycle. I am glad to have a talent like Abhishek on our project team and look forward to working with him in the future.

It's rare to come across standout talent like Abhishek. I had the pleasure of working with him on implementing ICM systems. He is an expert at IBM ICM and always had a quick turnaround. These skills often take years to develop among professionals but it seems natural to him. He is an asset to any team.

Abhishek is not only the guru of Enterprise Reporting and Analytics, but he also has a firm grasp on the gazillion sources of data that feed into all the reports. In the project I worked with him, his role was to work on the reporting piece, but he also worked on the source Incentive Compensation system. He had an excellent rapport with the client and delighted them with some proactive outputs — like a usage analysis of various reports which helped the business align its priorities.
