Reference
Initially, SEW Consulting Group arranged a set of demos of three competitive DAM systems for our technical review committee.
Andy, their technical director, ran each application through a dazzling series of use cases. Clearly, he loved each one, almost as a cherished pet.
Then, one of our technical leaders started to ask some real hard-ball questions about the functionality and its underlying technology.
Andy and Skiff not only answered these uber-geek questions, they demonstrated a level of mastery of application and business requirements that silenced our most ardent skeptics.
Over the course of 90 or so minutes, our team identified the winning application, which we went on to deploy.
In three short demo-briefings, SEW Consulting Group saved my team not only three or four months of vendor and technology qualifications, but they also helped us eliminate vendors and technologies that would have, in the end, failed to deliver.
