We were extraordinarily pleased with the functionality and depth of understanding that Folio3's solution exhibited after a relatively brief but incisive, project kickoff meeting. Folio3 ``gets it`` from the start, relieving us from tedious development discussions drawn out over a long period of time.
Folio3 impressed me by learning a BI tool they did not have prior experience with and in a short amount of time produced analysis reports ready for business consumption. We are excited on the next set of critical reports Folio is working on for us and expect the relationship to continue for the foreseeable future.
