Because of their quality technology services, the company has recently seen major growth, and has been recognized for several prestigious industry awards for their work and progress.

The company has completed an independent third-party SSAE16 Type II audit to demonstrate the operational effectiveness of its quality controls and operational practices. The Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 is an audit process that reports on the status of service organizations.
