Dental Campus
When starting our consulting company, we were looking for a partner we can trust with both technical skills and managerial competences. An initial analysis led us to the conclusion that BitStone had both in order to develop the high complexity online education platforms for the medical industry that we needed.
They demonstrated very good programming experience and an excellent service culture. Both are extremely important in our business.
The team’s constant availability in development and support towards us and our clients, combined with the open minded approach to changes and adaptations convinced us that we made a good choice in partnering up with BitStone.
Today, 4 years later I can confirm that all aspects of the process are fully satisfying and we have established a great and continuous partnership that helps us to serve our specific clients in complex programming projects.
