Erik...That guy has very good customer service skills. He schedules meetings, leads projects, trains his new hires, takes good notes, remembers a lot of things, and stays flexible and open to requests. Does everything well. The HMIs being built for us are also top-notch in look and feel, and they work great, according to how we'd like them to work.

—Austin Li, Repligen Corporation
We have always gotten awesome support both scheduled and unscheduled...people who work there are people I would call friends.
