“The team helped us better define what we needed for our business.”
When Krome started looking for a Skype for Business consultant it became obvious this would be challenging due to the shortage of Skype for Business candidates in our region. From the very beginning Nigel Frank stood out as an agency with the right specialist knowledge in the Microsoft UC space and access to the necessary pool of candidates that we weren’t seeing from other agencies. The team were very helpful and friendly.
