BDO were instrumental in the seamless implementation [of Sage People], with knowledge sharing and valuable discovery sessions. That allowed my team to really understand the system and its capabilities. BDO really helped us to keep up to date, on time, and within budget. BDO have a great partnership with Sage and were able to offer guidance and support post-delivery to ensure we were getting the most out of our new system. We've had a very positive end-to-end experience with BDO and are very happy with the ongoing benefits of our new Sage People platform.
