  y showing IT departments how to prevent cost overruns, rework, cancellations, post-installation rejection and the failure of software development projects, Sue Young has repeatedly helped companies save time, money and embarrassment.
"Sue has an instinct for finding the overlooked," said CIO Brian Jones of Followup.Net. "She asks a few questions, disappears, and comes back with 'Have you ever thought of doing it this way?' And of course it's so obvious once you see it, we'd regroup and test it out right away. With Sue's ideas, we increased our customer base 2400% and revenue 700% in eleven months."
Sue has over 20 years of hands-on IT experience in database administration, data modeling, analysis, and all phases of RDB-based systems implementation (Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Terradata, Ingres, Informix, SQL Server). She has worked on IT projects spanning 52 countries, from high volume OLTP to multi-terrabyte real time data warehouses. Clients include IBM, CNA Insurance, Commonwealth Edison, MGM/United Artists, Andersen Consulting, Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors, Sanders Aerospace, California Institute of Technology, BDM Technologies, Reckitt and Colman, National Telephone and Communications, Wyse Technologies, ITT Sheraton, Litton, Canadian Airlines, Chevron Canada, Paramount Pictures, PepsiCo and others.
Raised by parents who ran four businesses, Sue Young was trained early to identify more efficient solutions to business problems. Sue ran her first corporation at age 18 and started her current company, American National Database Association (ANDA Consulting), in 1989. She headed the Los Angeles branch of a nationwide IT recruiting firm, and has run service firms specializing in software design, performance prototyping, and marketing. She has a second degree black belt in tae kwon do, and is a member of American Mensa.
Sue Young is writing the book How to Prevent Failure in IT Projects.
With IT experience in 17 industries, Sue Young finds easier, more cost-effective ways for IT departments to accomplish their objectives – or to know, before money is wasted, if objectives cannot be met.
