They understood our problem and the solution to that problem.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We worked on this project during the holiday season, and both our teams had a lot of work on our plates. We could’ve communicated timelines better. Overall, crucialpoint managed a lot at once and kept their communication pretty tight.
