“Lee is an IT professional who works collaboratively and makes technical language make sense to the non-IT person. Very reliable and always ready with recommendations based on your company needs.”
Dr. Sequetta Sweet
Adjunct Professor, Nazareth College (business partner)

“As an adjunct professor at Nazareth in the School of Business Graduate Management program, I invited Lee to speak to my Information Management Systems class on E-Commerce. Although Lee hadn't spoken on the topic before, he prepared an engaging and informative presentation that thoroughly covered the topic for my class. Lee was able to present this technical topic in a way that management degree students could understand. His presentation was organized and audience appropriate and I would definitely rely on his expertise should I need an E-Commerce site built or if I need another speaker for a technical topic. I believe Lee was able to make some good connections with my students after the class. Having known Lee for about seven years, I have relied on his advice and expertise repeatedly and have never been disappointed. Lee Drake and OS-Cubed are on my "always recommended" list and it's great to know he is always willing to give back to the community.”

“Lee and I have worked together, in many capacities, since 1992. I first engaged Lee's company to host a Web site for a client, and for some related consulting, in 1998. Before and since, we have worked together, trading roles. In other words, sometimes, Lee has worked for me, and at others, I've worked for him. In every case, he had done what he said, when he said he would, and his results have met or exceeded my expectations.”

“Lee is an ever ready professional who nurtures entrepreneurs every chance he gets. He is a businessman, communicator, teacher and community servant. I posted in LinkedIn a request to learn more about blogging and RSS and he was quick to respond. We met the next day for 90 minutes with Lee sharing his insights about blogging, social media, business and community development. Lee knows technology. He knows business. He thinks like an innovator. While he provides great answers, great questions excite him. He connects, shares, and makes a difference in business and community. This recommendation comes freely offered, not requested as LinkedIn is inclined to promote. Whatever Lee does, he does well.”

“Lee Drake is our Web developer. Lee and OS-Cubed came up with a creative solution, enabling us to produce a working prototype for our patent pending technology. OS-Cubed used open source software to reduce our initial cost, allowing us to go ahead with our project. Their project sheet was the most detailed, and allowed us to estimate the costs of our project most accurately. We’ve always had open lines of communication with OS-Cubed. They have been responsive to any problems with our Website and to our service and tech support needs. When issues came up with project estimates, OS-Cubed worked out an online system better controlling costs, flagging problems before they got out of hand, and giving us a real time way to track the progress of our projects.”
