      Software Development Review from Jimmy Carlisle

      We needed an in-depth upgrade of the legacy auditing system. We chose Itransition because they swiftly responded to our project requirements and had relevant expertise. The team helped us decide on the solution’s tech stack and designed the new architecture, migrated legacy data, developed new features, and customized the software with extensions. We got a powerful and user-friendly auditing system and were very impressed with the Itransition’s dedication and attention to detail.

      Software Development Review from Shoshana Parker

      We enjoyed working with Itransition. We needed a solution for transferring health records from our EHR into the data warehouse without losses. We chose Itransition for their experience, portfolio, and past clients’ references, and the team fully met our expectations. They built a custom ETL tool that increased our visibility into clinical data and helped us spot inefficiencies in patient workflows. Needless to say, they also delivered it on time and budget.

      Software Development Review from Michael S.

      We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.
