"Elizabeth was extremely helpful and gave us some valuable information on the CCS when we were desperate and we could not reach our own software provider for advise. Your staff have been useful on many occasions, only I cannot remember the name of the person. Recently I called to get some information on the staff wages and on this occasion too the lady was extremely patient and helpful. Thank you very much."
