We could really feel Softjourn's experience. Not only in ticketing with being able to make solution suggestions, but also with their process of working with their clients including kick-off meetings, regular reviews to discuss improvements, upper management oversight and so on!

We were encouraged because Softjourn asked the right questions, involved people with the right experience in to the conversations. Showed good leadership in managing the process of walking them through the sales process, keeping them on track, and has a lot of strong knowledge in the financial area, as they are a small software developer company and there are always so many other things that are pulling us in multiple directions. As well Softjourn shows a lot of experience in multiple programming languages and in combining them in to one product.
