Andy Klee, President 

As President of Klee Associates, Andy has evolved from "one guy with a 4 page newsletter" to the leader of one of the premier JDE Consulting practices in North America. He considers himself very fortunate to have been able to attract some of the best people in the business to the Klee team.  He is totally committed to differentiating Klee Associates from the teaming masses of consulting firms roaming the ERP landscape.  

Until 2003, when Andy had to stop doing consulting and training and dedicate himself full-time to running the growing Klee Associates consulting practice, Andy had implemented JDE solutions longer than most.  He started with JD Edwards in 1989 and has been involved in training, consulting, and project management for over 16 years.  He was one of the first consultants to implement the Energy and Chemical Suite.  He also has over 8 years experience with Advanced Pricing, dating back to before the first release on A7.1.

Andy started publishing the JDEtips Journal and website in 2000.  Andy developed the concept of Mastery Workshops for the install base in 2001, and is busy creating more value-add services for both new clients, and the install base.  In late 2002, Andy made a decision to start www.SAPtips.com.    

Andy moved to the Western Slope of Colorado in 1999 after living 22 years in Denver.  Andy's direct number is 1-970-856-4811.  Andy.Klee@ERPtips.com.

Throughout the industry's ebbs and flows, thousands of SAP professionals have tracked the market through Jon's commentary and personal consultations.
