Testimonials
"Mr. Fisher provided prompt, efficient, and detailed assistance on our project. As is common, our company called Alex on short notice and on a Friday. Alex managed to provide the help we needed over the weekend to allow us to pick up and run with things by the following work week. In addition, he provided exceptionally initiative to take the project by the hand and work proactively to solve the immediate issue. He could have easily have waited for us to take the lead, but once he knew what was needed he was a freight train towards solving our problem. You have to love that."
"Alex is simply one word, Incredible. My company needed to develop a website to promote our upcoming training event and our existing website couldn't handle some of the capabilities we were looking to implement. After being presented with some outrageous quotes to upgrade our no longer supported version of Drupal, I contacted Alex and he was able to give us some very nice alternatives that didn't cost us a ton of money. I value Alex's professionalism, responsiveness, and very pleasant personality and recommend him for any job that may come his way."
"What service! Thanks Alex, you’re awesomely fast."

"Not only is Alex Fisher THE go-to web guy, he's also Mr. Networking with his finger on the pulse of the industry. Alex is well versed in leading clients to the promised land of great usability and expansive functionality. Whoever else you may be considering, just stop now. Your search is over."
"Alex has just performed a number of miracles for my client. He has taken a very large, complex website that was put together in a spaghetti fashion and assisted in straightening out many of the issues with with his deep knowledge of programming and Drupal. He has not only made the site function in a much better way than was ever designed, but has expertly added more capability to the Drupal CMS.
On the personal site, he's a pleasure to work with. He's smart, proactive and can analyze "any" situation and develop a solution, no matter how complex it is. If you need anyone to help you within his area of expertise, I would recommend that you don't hesitate to contact him."
"I have had two recent experiences with Commercial Progression and both have been exceptional.
The first was a quick turnaround Drupal website move from a web hosting situation that was less than adequate to a more appropriate solution with Commercial Progression. The need to change services came up suddenly, and Commercial Progression was able to step up and handle the somewhat risky transition flawlessly and faster than expected.
The second experience involved extensive Drupal updates to noblelexington.com and some programming tweaks to some areas that we had been struggling with internally. Commercial Progression provided a plan that ensured minimal user interruption during the updates and tweaks. Behind the scenes, the updates posed some challenges, but all of them were resolved efficiently and effectively. Overall, the approach for the project was designed correctly, executed well, and completed ahead of schedule.
I have been extremely satisfied with my experiences with Commercial Progression. They have demonstrated expertise in web design, development, and Drupal content management databases."
"I've had the pleasure of attending Alex's workshops for the past four weeks. Alex is a dynamic speaker who is both knowledgeable and passionate about Drupal. He deftly explains the features and functionality of Drupal with ease. Alex is very approachable and has a wonderful way of managing both the beginner and advanced questions about Drupal in a gracious manner. He loves his work with Drupal and it shows. I highly recommend him as an instructor and speaker."
"The challenge of hiring a programmer is difficult in terms of looking for a balance of hard and soft skills. The project we hired Alex for was creative in the sense it not only involved understanding our wants, but also utilizing the Twitter API. Throughout the project as challenges arose, it was easy working with Alex to create creative solutions. In my experience, Alex was talented not only in Drupal but also working with business owners."
"Since WRCJ 90.9 FM switched to Commercial Progression for Web hosting and support, we’ve had a nice increase in the number of people streaming our classical and jazz music, as well as an increase in time spent on our site. Alex Fisher and his team respond quickly to our needs and are very creative in helping us meet our online goals."
"I worked with Alex on a couple of high-profile projects for the Microsoft Corporation in 2008 and 2009. We worked on a Silverlight 2 video application that streamed the Democratic National Committee Convention (DNCC) live using Move Network’s adaptive streaming technology. We repeated the success of the DNCC by streaming the 2009 Presidential Inauguration with CBS local. Alex was instrumental helping us plan and design our solution which had several dependencies with Move Networks and with other companies as well: Microsoft, Level 3, and Verizon Business. Alex was able to help the Vertigo team ramp up very quickly on the Move Player SDK and Move Publish CMS and provided excellent Architectural advice as we stood up our application. Alex has a very enjoyable personality and is easy to work. He remains calm and collected during tough decision making and is always thinking about creative solutions to accommodate client requests, schedule deadlines, and technical and design constraints. He was always willing to help out and was very proactive in following up with folks from his side. I would gladly work with Alex again and I highly recommend him to anyone who seeking an expert in the streaming media world."
"Alex is one of the most talented consultants I have ever encountered. He has the ability to program, but more importantly has a tremendous business mind and always delivers more than I expected. As a former Speaker of House in Michigan and business owner I have used a lot of technology consultants. Alex is among the best you can find- I offer my highest recommendation."
"Commercial Progression led by Alex Fisher is unusual in their field in that they clearly define the work and deliver results in both a timely and cost effective manner."
"Alex went from the frying pan into the fire and never looked back re-inventing how things were done, taking on new challenges and fixing long standing issues with a better solution. Consistently winning praise from our end-users and other co-workers alike created a win-win-win result for everyone involved. As an engineer, programmer and manager who is dependable, on time and a great people person I recommend Alex very highly."
"Alex is an outstanding engineer combined with great customer facing skills. He can take a complex set of requirements and produce a detailed solution that meets the customer's needs. He has excellent customer skills in presenting technical details and concepts in a clear and concise manner. From a Client Services perspective, he is the ultimate Solutions Engineer to work with from inception of the project through full deployment."
"I've worked with Alex on a number of occasions. A long time ago, in high school, as an alumnus Alex was my mentor on the science fair projects that I worked on. More recently, I've worked for Alex as a contact employee for his digital media and technology consulting firm, Commercial Progression. Alex is a great communicator, and highly efficient manager. He understands how to motivate his development team, manage a project, and still allow for the necessary autonomy that it takes to accomplish a given task."
"Alex Fisher has been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember - and for as long as I can remember, every endeavor only strengthened and refined his talents. His commitment to projects is unparalleled, and his ability to bring talented individuals together never ceases to amaze me. On top of his technical strengths lies not only a layer of creativity, but also one of business acumen. We made a great team at Studio Logic, and I look forward to a future reunion. But while I'm fortunate to have worked with Alex, I'm even more fortunate to first and foremost been friends."
"Alex is a thorough, professional solutions architect who understands the problems developers undertake. As a developer, it removes a mountain of stress to work with someone like Alex who has done the leg work so you can do the job right the first time without having to constantly go back to the customer for more information."
