Re: Jim Lawrence - System Consultant


Jim Lawrence who has provided system consulting and development for the gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (formerly the gaming Audit and Investigation Office) for the past five years.

Jim was responsible for the maintaining of the Gaming Audit Investigation Tracking System (GAITS), updating the program to Access 97 and expanding its functionality to a wide area network in our Victoria and Vancouver offices. In addition, Jim developed and maintained the Registration Data Base for the gaming workers records. The program was rewritten and updated to meet our requirements which included provisions of a host sequel server (MS SQL Server 7).

Jim provided excellent service to this office and I would not hesitate to recommend him for future employment in this field.
