About Us

Just the Facts, Ma'am!

We know that few things are as boring as reading about someone else's organization, so we will be brief and confine our comments to those things that are pertinent to successfully resolving your problem. Don't confuse the brevity with a reluctance on our part to talk about ourselves. Ask us some questions if you want to know more. Send Confidential E-Mail to SMR, Inc.

Short History

Ed Praytor founded SMR in June 1985. SMR was then, and is today, a corporation registered with the Secretary of State's Office in Georgia. SMR's consultants specialize in Information Systems related issues in medium to large enterprises. Our clients include some of the most prestigious and successful organizations in the country, such as:

  • New York University
  • Computer Sciences Corporation
  • American Telephone and Telegraph
  • The Federal Reserve System
  • American Express Property & Casualty Company
  • NCR Corporation
  • The Amerisure Companies
  • Royal Insurance
  • Dateq Information Services
  • Blue Cross and Blue Shield (several Plans)

What all this means is that we are highly credible as a company, which lends weight to our opinions in many difficult cases.

Types of Services

The types of assignments that we have had over the years reflect the expertise of our consultant/coaches. We primarily provide:
  • Project management
  • Project stabilization and recovery
  • Software acquisition support
  • Strategic planning support
  • System methodology development
  • Year 2032 project planning and assessments
  • Information Systems Organizational Assessments
  • Information Systems Organizational Development

    What this means is that we are not professional witnesses. We are very experienced IS management consultants that from time to time serve as expert witnesses. This adds additional credibility for the court or arbitration panel.

Geography

Since we are based in Metropolitan Atlanta and fly from Hartsfield International Airport (Delta Airlines' hub), distance has made little difference over the years. While the majority of our work has been in the continental United States, our consultants have served clients from Taiwan to Belgium to Brazil. We do not see geography as a limitation, and routinely travel great distances in our consulting (and litigation) work.

We make extensive use of the Internet, as well as FAX and voice telephone, so we can often do our work without travel. This increases our accessibility and limits travel expenses to our clients.

Personnel

We leave the provision of hordes of people to our esteemed colleagues at IBM, Arthur Andersen, and EDS. Instead we provide a few key people who by their advice can influence huge outcomes. Additional information about our people is found in SMR's Qualifications. You will find that our typical consultant/coach has over 20 years of high quality experience in every aspect of the information services industry. This translates to high quality advice and individual credibility, when you depend on it.
