"Lane is one of the most knowledgeable and articulate commentators in the technology space. I was privileged to be in the audience for one of his presentations in Chicago earlier this year, and frankly - Lane knows his stuff. He raises issues which are of interest and which we all need to be considering. I pay attention to what Lane says." -- Director, Digital Transformation Center

"I had the privilege of working with Mr. Cooper on creating a White Paper for our use of Microsoft SharePoint in municipal government. Mr. Cooper's gift with words brought much confidence to our Administration. I would highly recommend capitalizing on any chance to work with Mr. Cooper." -- Director of Municipal and Community Services at City of Weatherford

"I had the pleasure of working with Lane while I was at Microsoft. I was beginning to formulate a national strategy to close the digital divide and, due to low awareness regarding this subject, sought out a co-author with whom I could collaborate to create a model for municipalities. Lane and I collaborated to bring forward what were later looked upon as thought leadership works. Lane quickly embraced and understood this complex issue and helped to shape the abstracts in a way that was easily understood by Mayors, Chief Information Officers and Mayoral staffs as key audiences. Lane is passionate about his work and is a great partner - he genuinely cares, his word is gold, and he works with speed and precision. Working with Lane was a pleasure and I look forward to working with him again in the future." -- Chief Executive Officer, Leadership Greater Chicago
