“We worked with Allen for 2+ years building a portal for a business-critical department at Pfizer. We could not be happier with the results. The project management team easily understood and followed our content driven direction. Our content is constantly changing at a rapid pace and the team not only kept up, was a step ahead. They met every deadline and stayed consistently in contact regardless of their location in Utah. They visited Pfizer a few times and our team met there a few times. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we would absolutely use them again.”
