      Mobile App Development Review from Laura Waniuk

      During my tenure at Beaver Creek Resort Company I was tasked with building and launching a guest-facing app for the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Beaver Creek Mountain. I worked very closely with Quartus Technology and their team to meet the budget, the timeline and all the required features for the project. The app launched early! It's been an incredible success and the app has continued into phase 2 and 3 with added functions. I highly recommend Quartus Technology if you are in search of a quality app, strong development team and transparent pricing.

      Mobile App Development Review from Chris Caputo, PMP

      After looking at multiple vendors to build an app to provide information on municipalities we selected Quartus. The scope included the development of the app (including designs) and integration to a service that our development team created. Quartus was successful. They delivered in a timely, cost-efficient manner and were easy to work with. When we decided to have a second app created, we did not look elsewhere and stayed with Quartus. This app involved the development of a calculator to calculate and email title insurance premiums. Like our first app, Quartus had to develop the designs (they were able to leverage a portion of the work from our first app) and integrate to a different service that our development team created. Once again, Quartus delivered. These apps were for Android and iOS. They are a good partner.

      Salesforce Review from Rishi Kumar

      I had the opportunity to work with Accenture on implementing Salesforce with ServiceMax. Their expertise and dedication were impressive. Accenture's work on implementing Salesforce and the ServiceMax managed package was invaluable, significantly benefiting our organization's operations and efficiency. However, one area for improvement would be the documentation process. It was challenging to access comprehensive documentation, which slowed down certain aspects of our project. Nonetheless, I recommend Accenture as their talented team delivers exceptional results.

      RA's Review Sourced from Google

      As an accounting firm I would give them 1 star. I recently discovered a litany of deductions they failed to consider. You will be given an EA, which is just a glorified tax preparer. They will know nothing and be slow to reply. You might as well get your taxes done by H&R block or a proper independent CPA. If these folks do your taxes, get prepared for a larger tax bill. I strongly advise against it.
