Testimonials
 Casseo was engaged
during the course of 2004/2005 to provide both Programme and Project Management services
to Capita Life & Pensions Services (Ireland) Ltd to define, plan, manage and control
the delivery of a suite of initiatives to support the Companies strategy to be the
Business Process Outsourcer of choice in the International and Domestic Life &
Pensions market sector. In addition to the Programme Management assignments, Casseo also
took on responsibility for the project management and delivery of specific risk and
efficiency projects incorporating both business and IT elements together with the Project
management of the Capita Internal end-to-end bid process (bid negotiation to legal
contracts and subsequent transition/integration). All assignments were approached and
delivered in a very practical, professional and comprehensive manner and I would have
absolutely no hesitation in recommending or engaging Casseo should the opportunity arise
at some point in the future. |

| Casseo Ltd were
selected by Pioneer Investments Management Ltd to play a very significant part in
establishing the PMO in the organisation (processes, systems, data) and in gaining broad
acceptance for the role of the PMO amongst the IT community. The Casseo Consultant
made a major contribution to adapting and tailoring processes, at short notice, to
accommodate the diverse elements involved in a very large and complex change programme and
also came with a strong project management background, which, combined with a good
knowledge of the asset management business, allowed him to be effective from the start.
The Casseo Consultant has performed to a very high standard in a fast-moving,
multinational environment and has interacted well with PM, IT and business groups. I
would have no hesitation in recommending Casseo Ltd to other suppliers who are seeking a
quality Project Management partner. |

| Casseo Ltd provided
experienced IT contract personnel to Kindle Banking Systems from 1997 to 2000. During this
period Casseo personnel quickly assumed key roles in the development of the Bankmaster
product portfolio, a leading open systems integrated banking solution that was deployed in
over 200 banks worldwide. Casseo developed a partnership with Kindle Banking Systems that
saw its personnel provide business critical services during a time of huge upheaval in the
banking software market. Casseo services were also key in underpinning operations during
the creation of Kindle's Bangalore Software Services Centre. Technical competence,
pragmatic project focus and flexible people are the hallmark of Casseo's service delivery.
I would strongly recommend Casseo and its team of IT professionals. |

| Casseo was engaged
from October 2002 - December 2003 to provide Project Management services to 'Prudential
Europe Management Services Ltd' and each project managed by Casseo during this period was
delivered in a very professional and effective manner. Casseo also provided key project
management services in the selection; negotiation and subsequent contract awarding of a
strategic Euro 160m Business Process Outsourcing agreement, which was in line with the
Prudential business strategy. I would highly recommend Casseo to any organisation seeking
experienced, practical and structured delivery of IT/Business change projects. |

| In January 2006,
Schenker announced the $2BN acquisition of Bax Global. Over the coming months in
over 100 countries across the world, the integration of these two large organisations
commenced. In Ireland, Schenker/Bax engaged the services of Casseo Ltd to
project manage critical elements of this integration. The brief included; IT
Application integration, Network integration; IT Infrastructure upgrade and IT
organisation design & recruitment. Casseo Ltd played a vital role in each
element of their brief, quickly familiarising themselves with the organisation locally and
globally, building up positive and constructive working relationships with key
staff. Over a nine month period through the mix of extensive experience, hard
work, determination and the use of professional project management tools, Casseo Ltd made
a huge contribution to the successful integration of Schenker/Bax in Ireland.
Throughout the project, Casseo Ltd provided regular progress reports to the project team
and provided direct and clear advice on all occasions. Our decision to engage Casseo
Ltd was recognised as a huge success, locally in Ireland and at our global HQ in Germany. |

| TTM engaged Casseo
at Board level to work with us particularly, but not exclusively, on Funding, Delivery
Management and Sales Growth. The Casseo Interim Manager worked with us through two
acquisition approaches, a funding round with Ulster Bank Ireland / Royal Bank of Scotland
(RBS Commercial) UK and numerous Vendor Selection processes. Subsequently, we have appointed the Casseo Interim Managers as Non - Executive Chairman of TTM Ireland / TTM UK and as a direct result, our revenue has grown considerably allied by a massive reduction in our costs through various measures including Business Process Outsourcing and more structured Delivery Management. TTM's Managing Director, our Senior Management team and our Project Managers have grown in confidence since their arrival at TTM. The Casseo Interim Manager's rounded experience and qualifications has allowed him to
truly work with the management team across all operational areas - financial management,
sales channel development, project management, marketing support, technology vendor
selection and in particular operational business management. We now have a much more
structured outlook to the future and in our attempt to add more value to the bottom line
the Casseo Interim Managers input will ultimately have an impact on the value of TTM as we
move towards trade sale. |

| As non-executive
Chairman of Ingenium Systems Limited in 2001/2003, I worked with the Managing Partner of
Casseo while he fulfilled the role of Chief Executive. I can honestly say that he was one of the most effective Chief Executives I have come across in my career. At Ingenium, he identified the issues to be resolved, he put a framework of resolution around them, and then diligently addressed all the hurdles until the final solution was achieved. He was a pleasure to work with; he has a great sense of humour, coupled with an intense ambition and ability to succeed in business. In addition to that he has boundless energy and dedicates himself fully to the task at hand. On a personal level, I found him to be loyal, trustworthy and a great colleague to work
with; I very much hope to work with the Casseo team again in the future. |

| GE Financial
Insurance (now Genworth Financial) engaged Casseo to assist in the delivery of a complex
cross-functional project. The project entailed managing the IT Infrastructure and
providing IT Support to assists a dedicated debtor recovery team that was set up
specifically for the project. Based in Birmingham, Casseo leveraged excellent project
management and technical skills to quickly win the confidence of the local team. Over a
period of time, Casseo worked hand-in-hand with this team to deliver an outstanding result
where significant more debts were recovered than had been thought possible. I have no
hesitation in recommending Casseo. |

| Casseo Ltd. was
engaged during 2005 on a critical programme aimed at further enhancing Dell’s
renowned Supply Chain model for outbound logistics in EMEA (Europe, Middle East &
Africa). The Casseo team immediately “hit the ground running” and added immense
value in augmenting the internal Dell IT team seeking to expedite this critical project.
They brought a strategic and realistic view of the possibilities for the project, as well
as a professional focus on delivery of a quality product to agreed timescales. Casseo
managed a wide range of internal relationships, as well as cementing the external
commitments needed from Dell’s partners to make the project a reality. Throughout the
project life cycle, Casseo always brought a practical perspective to the table when
wrestling with a complex project, and executed creative and innovative solutions to ensure
success. A very worthwhile partnership which I would eagerly recommend to those in search
of external expertise and commitment in meeting their project commitments. |
