‘Excellent follow-up by team members.’
‘The team is always available and eager to help. They have great knowledge about their domains and have adapted their way of working to our needs (not general information anymore but to-the-point advice). Also their transparency regarding billing and the way they match our requests are worth mentioning.’
‘Alexander Baert is for me since years the person to go to in case of difficulties. He thinks with us, is practical and is eager to find solutions rather than throw us into the deep end with unnecessary court cases.’
