Seattle, WA and Denver, CO – 04/07/09 – WTS, Inc., the leader in application hosting, managed disaster recovery, and colocation services for Oracle’s JD Edwards applications, announced that Richard Dolewski, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Business Continuity Services for WTS, has been recognized for the fifth consecutive year with a Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame award from COMMON. Attendees to COMMON’s Spring 2008 User Conference held in Nashville, Tennessee, recognized four of Mr. Dolewski’s presentations as sessions with exceptional content and delivery.
COMMON established the Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame to recognize presenters at its conferences whose sessions are exceptional in both content and delivery. Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame Awards are based on evaluation forms from conference attendees. Ratings are based on responses to questions regarding session content, the speaker’s presentation skills, the speaker’s ability to communicate knowledge of topic, use of training aids, and the overall rating for the session. The Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame was established in 1994.
The sessions presented by Richard Dolewski that were recognized by COMMON and their members included:
"We are proud to have WTS executives included as keynote speakers at user group conferences like COMMON," said Tom Hughes, President and CEO of WTS. "Richard’s selection to COMMON's Speaker Excellence Hall of Fame demonstrates his dedication to the IBM, i5/OS community.

Richard’s history of delivering reliable disaster recovery services that eliminate the risks associated with equipment readiness, staffing availability, and data access is well demonstrated in his presentation material."
