Shepard Associates

Abandonment of Project, We hired Shepard Associates as a project manager to replace our previous PM that took a full time position to take our company from concept to a fully operational system. Colin insisted on terminating all existing designers, programmers and consultants with his handpicked team.
I should have known it wasn’t going to end well when I noticed Colin repeatedly turn off his phone and make disparaging comments when he received calls from other clients during our meetings.
He started not returning calls and missing our weekly update meetings when things started falling apart with the programmers and support team that he insisted where the only ones in the country if not the world that could build our project.
The end result was that we lost nearly half of our customers in the first few months because of broken code and no support. All the while there has been on word or support from Shepard Associates.
We spent nearly $ 98,070 with Shepard Associates and their team only to be dead in the water with zero help.
The lack of professionalism has been devastating to our companies roll out and success.
We have asked Colin to return $ 25,000 of the funds we paid his company as we have had to hire a company out of Texas to fix the problems and support our clients.
The unanticipated costs to due to, the loss of customers and having to stop all sales until these problems are resolved has cost our company much more in dollars and credibility.
Colin recently agreed to the settlement and has since gone dark again for the past several weeks.
Beware don’t let this happen to you! BTW the only reason he received one star is because you have to click at least one BAD NEWS!
