To
Whom It May Concern:
I have been asked to provide a letter of recommendation for Georgia
Tech's
Interactive Media Technology Center (IMTC) and I am happy to do
so. For the past three years we had the opportunity to work with
several
IMTC staff on two projects involving development of interactive
multimedia web-based information resources for people with disabilities.
In
the past we have used the services of for-profit web development
companies, so had fairly high expectations. Frankly, as a university-based
organization, I expected IMTC to deliver technically but did not
expect a truly "professional" effort.
I can honestly say that they surpassed my expectations. I have
been continually impressed with the creativity, enthusiasm, professionalism
and sensitivity to our needs demonstrated by IMTC. I was especially
impressed with the lengths they have gone to not only understand,
but to master the unique challenges of designing accessible web
sites
and content for people with disabilities. In fact, IMTC has become
a regional resource on accessible web design and offers continuing
education workshops on the topic. Finally, I was impressed with
IMTC's understanding of bottom-line concerns to deliver on time
and on budget.
Unlike many academic centers I have dealt with in the past, the
staff really understood that creativity does not have to be compromised
to deliver a quality product at a reasonable price.
In closing, I enthusiastically support IMTC as an addition to
your team and will be happy to assist in anyway I can to help you
arrive
at that decision. Please feel free to contact me at (404) 350-7595
if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely yours,
Michael L. Jones, Ph.D.
