    Covalent took on the project as if it was their own and was as passionate about it as we were. They were great. If ever there was a deadline missed, it was completely our fault. Not only did they never miss a deadline, they even delivered some pieces as they were being completed, so we got to see things as they were unfolding. Covalent was incredibly prompt and very professional in their gentle nudges to keep the project moving along.
