What people are saying about InfoCat's services
With thanks to our valued clients for all their kind words.
''InfoCat came highly recommended by IBM, and when we met with the InfoCat consultants on site for the first time we immediately saw why. We were very impressed with how knowledgeable the InfoCat team was, and the fact that they really took the time to understand the business objectives behind our reporting project.”
Miki Travel“Just as we kicked off the TM1 implementation project we embarked on a significant strategic acquisition which limited the availability of key resources. InfoCat recognised the split priorities we were facing and with their support and flexibility we were still able to have the system available for key milestones e.g. budget planning.”
Mark Leeder Head of FP&A, Marshall Motor Holdings plc"Can I just say what a pleasure it is to work with InfoCat. The project was completed on time with no overspend."
