What the client is saying..
– NEPHCURE INTERNATIONAL
“Amazing support, know-how, and project management: We have been working with the team since May and plan to continue working with them on an ongoing basis. Having worked with lots of outside vendors in the past, I’m impressed with their ability to embed themselves into our systems and develop solutions that make sense for us. On the technical side, we’ve been working primarily with Reed Iandolo, and it’s been like having another staff member on our team. We’re able to make progress quickly and efficiently and tackle some issues that have been holding us back for years. So thrilled to have found them and would absolutely recommend their services to other non-profits.” -Nephcure International
