Typically, our Japanese clients are very meticulous about the quality of their systems. However, none of Rubyroid's work has received any complaints.

Rubyroid effectively managed their time, delivering every feature before deadline. Whenever bugs or delays arose, the team would either correct for them or help us find alternatives to keep the systems working properly.

For one project, they took over a system that was developed and maintained by another company; they carefully read the source code in order to fully understand the details of the system.
