If you need an Oracle Applications DBA consultant to install, upgrade,
tune, or support your Oracle Applications 11i E-Business Suite, please email
me. You'll get the same good technical skills (and, in fact, the very
same consultant) you get by going to larger consulting companies, but at a much
cheaper rate, without the middleman.

looks like good products for managing an Apps installation. I haven't
used them, though; just did an interview with them once. One product
will archive less-accessed data off the Production instance, and another
product will give you just a subset of the source data when you clone or
refresh PROD to TEST. See my

outsourcing and other issues related to Oracle and other fields of employment.

Consulting Assistance Corp (CAC), Atlanta and Dallas - I did finally get all my money from them, but it took over a year, including one rubber check and several threats from CAC President Ken Lockhart to come up to New Hampshire and kick my ass if I didn't quit calling them about my money.
BHUPENDRA YADUVANSHI - doing business under numerous fronts - GrayCell, GrayCell America, GreyCell America, GreyCell Consulting, GrayCell Consulting, ERA Consulting Group, West Coast Consulting, LLC. After doing some consulting work for him at a client on Long Island, I called him because he hadn't paid me for my work, as he'd promised to do. His only response was to say "Fuck you" and hang up on me. Further research into his activities showed he'd previously been cited for failing to pay numerous people who had done consulting for him. See HERE for details.
Email me for more details. Also, please email me with details of any unsatisfactory dealings you have had with any of the above.

THE ADVENTURES OF THOSE WHO DEAL WITH BHUPENDRA YADUVANSHI
GreyCell, NY - aka GrayCell, aka GrayCell America, aka GreyCell America, aka GreyCell Consulting, aka GrayCell Consulting. Claims to have 200 consultants in 5 offices; it's really just one con man, Bhupendra Yaduvanshi, Bhupen@graycellamerica.com and yaduvanshi@yahoo.com, who hires consultants, but then doesn't want to pay them. After doing some work for him at a client on Long Island, I called him because he hadn't paid me the money he owed me. His only response was to say "Fuck you" and hang up on me. Call his cell phone at (516) 721-1299 and tell him he sucks. Some of his other numbers are (516) 390-7200, (516) 390-7205
ERA Consulting Group, NJ, NY - appears to be another front for GrayCell/Greycell, or vice-versa. Bhupendra Yaduvanshi was also CITED for failure to pay 8 other people. See details HERE. And who knows how many others he has cheated without being cited. It appears that, after cheating people as ERA, he then switched names to GreyCell/GrayCell.
West Coast Consulting, LLC, CA, NY - a reader pointed out to me that this is yet another of the many false fronts of Bhupendra Yaduvanshi. I believe this reincarnation came after GrayCell/GreyCell.
More reincarnations of Bhupendra Yaduvanshi:
Sept 25, 2007 - Another reader sent me this additional information about Bhupendra Yaduvanshi: "Bhupendra Yaduvanshi is now the owner of the Holiday Inn Express in Plainfield CT. As soon as he took ownership, he fired the hotel's manager, who was there since the hotel opened and ran the hotel when it received the Torch Bearer award two years running. Why would he fire someone who brings this sort of excellence to his own establishment? The employees are still wondering the same thing. It doesn't seem he makes very good business decisions. He cuts corners wherever he can and puts himself before the hotel's patrons (and they've noticed). It seems this once great hotel may lose its prestige."
January 17, 2008 - yet another reader sent me the following info about the stellar character of Bhupendra Yaduvanshi: "I have a information for you on Bhupendra Yaduvanshi. He recently bought one more hotel; Comfort Inn and Suites in Meridian, CT, which is a new property and going in loss. Also he is running away from consulting now and trying to establish himself into hotel business. He has found a new sector to bluff people now. His employees are fed up of him and he doesn't pays them what they agrees on. You should definitely add on this to your site. He is seriously a bluff whether in professional or personal life."
Well, these reports sure sound just like the Bhupendra Yaduvanshi I knew; someone who likes to cheat those who work for him.
May 1, 2008 - got a call from Niki Yaduvanshi, Bhupendra's wife, (917) 649-2065, pretending that she'd reached a "wrong number". Further investigation on my part revealed it was shortly after she'd done Google searches for "Bhupendra Yaduvanshi" and "Brian Meyette". When queried, she denied all of it, claimed she was calling someone else, and denied knowing anyone named Bhupendra. Apparently the whole family bases their lives on lying, stealing, and deception. Really nice people.
