    “What stood out about Bista was definitely the responsiveness from the point that we made the
    first contact, they were very quick to respond to my query…and then we scheduled. Because I was
    on a very tight deadline. I wanted it up and running within a month…. They were responsive, they had a team dedicated [to take care of what was happening] …people working around the clock.”

    now, even after the initial project finished. I think they have a great talent pool to work with and they’ve been
    very accommodating – so wherever we needed to change things or get additional resources or find additional
    expertise they’ve always been on point to help with that.”
