“The solution that we chose was an out-of-the-box solution hosted externally by Nimbus… In terms of speed and quality of immediate delivery it was a great thing for us to look to Nimbus to provide (the solution). … By no stretch of the imagination were we process experts, we were a growing company with a desire to do the right thing. In our adventure and journey along the way, Nimbus were very clearly the right people to help, as they had experience in the sector before and were really key … became part of our culture, they did that really well. They have a very strong account management team and the support they have given us along the way has been just absolutely brilliant. For that reason it has been really helpful, because we chose the right partner.”
