Jeffrey Weiss Director for Research Core Planning at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine

eCommerce Development Review from Jeffrey Weiss
I've worked with Table XI for the last 9 years on a University-wide system to manage transactions at over 70 centralized service facilities. It has been an outstanding experience. The system performs well and is rock solid. We've extended the feature set far beyond our initial scope and they've handled our needs without pause. My favorite part is the responsiveness. I've never been left waiting for a reply, and I have never seen an issue go unresolved in a short span of time. Great partners.

Software Development Review from Matt Frey
Table XI did a really good job kicking off the project by helping us with requirements gathering and project planning. They had some great exercises to facilitate this process and I particularly enjoyed how they teased out how flexible we were in terms of scope, budget, quality, and timeline. Doing so helped us ensure our expectations were all aligned prior to starting work. Table XI also maintains a great engineering culture, which was exhibited by their engineers.

UI/UX Design Review from Audrey Thomas
Highland is a great partner. The sought to deeply understand our product, customers, and pain points and built a number of forward looking opportunities for us in addition to the tight scope of our project. Proactive, thoughtful, responsive, and flexible. We are a small team and found lots of value in working with Highland to get our UX refresh project up and running.

UI/UX Design Review from ✨ Liz Pisney ✨
We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders. Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience. 10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!
Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE Executive Director at Thoracic Surgery Foundation

Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience. Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation. I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

Public Relations Review from Viktor Bálint
Despite the extremely short timeframe and complexity of the project, Enterie team has done an excellent job preparing a cross-European communications plan and executing it. They coordinated our merger communication on 8 markets, helping us to secure 130+ publications in two months.The agency approached the project of communicating our news a merger of the two leading EduTech companies in CEE that resulted in the formation of one of the biggest powerhouses of digital skills in Europe in a unique way. First, they prepared one central press release (template) and managed to coordinate the creation of all the local versions. Then, Enterie very well coordinated the distribution of the news in 8 different countries. Finally, they started pitching to journalists with exclusives, proposing interviews, articles and thought-leadership pieces by our C-level executives. The angles of communication were genuinely customized for different kinds of outlets HR, business, and startup ones. Special kudos to Ranbir, the person in charge of this part of the project, who would motivate us to stay proactive in the sphere of media relations.

Public Relations Review from Maja Wiśniewska-Hardek
We came to Enterie with the need to find local communication partners who would help SMSAPI enter the Italian, Spanish, French and German markets.We wanted to cooperate with agencies that would advise us not only on the specifics of PR in a given country, but also on economic trends, consumer behavior and the cultural localisation of the product we offer.I can confidently say that after several months of cooperation with local teams, their efforts have become an irreplaceable help in taking the first steps in these countries. It is worth emphasizing the professional approach of Enterie at the stage of briefing and setting communication goals.Thanks to PR activities, we noticed a significant increase in referral visits to local language versions of SMSAPI and improved visibility in organic search results in a short time. Importantly, thanks to regular positioning in local media, we have gained many qualitative publications that directly influenced the recognition of SMSAPI brand in European countries, which quickly became visible in brand searches.It is also worth saying that each of the agencies associated in Enterie is characterized by high professionalism and an understanding of the needs of the tech customer.

FMS was extremely helpful with the process of franchising my business. Even though my industry is not a typical one for franchising, they believed in my vision 100% and have walked me every step of the way since then to help whenever I've needed them. Our vision for franchising isn't rapid scaling or bulk franchisee signings, but they've been happy to go at my pace and I would highly recommend their services!
