“CCF
was looking for a partner not another vendor… We were impressed with
the ability of the APOS consultant who discussed his previous
experience and how it applied to our situation. APOS was able to
bring the right people to the table based on our requirements. Our
relationship with APOS is one we appreciate because of their obvious
interest in wanting us to succeed and the high level of expertise
that they possess. They represent exceptional value for the money.”
said John Watts, Director of MIS, Christian Children’s Fund, Richmond,
Virginia
Christian Children’s Fund was looking for a
partner with strong technical depth to assist them with the migration from a Seagate
Info environment to the updated Business Objects platform. After investigation of several
organizations, CCF visited the APOS Systems web site. “It was clear that APOS was offering
the type of services that we were looking for to help us accomplish our Business Intelligence
goals,” said Linda Abrams, Sr. Programmer, Christian Children’s Fund
contacted APOS Systems for a solution.
