"When I engaged Partner Intelligence to do a major project to convert hundreds of production jobs from mainframe FOCUS to WebFOCUS in just six months, it seemed like an unattainable undertaking. Not only was I wrong, but this was one of the smoothest projects on which I have had the pleasure of working in years!
If you need to convert code, then Partner Intelligence is the company you need to work with!"
--Richard Smith, Director of OKDHS IT
