Alan Larkin
CTO
Work commenced promptly and was carried out in the most professional manner, being fully transparent with regular updates and detailed documentation of all decisions and deliverables maintained. The team really went above and beyond, meeting every one of our requirements and more. The infrastructure-as-code is clean and carefully crafted and since the handover, which itself was meticulously planned and documented, we have found it remarkably easy to take ownership of what is quite a large and sophisticated platform. As a small start-up with a limited budget, huge demands on our human resources, and no dedicated in-house cloud specialist, taking on any significant infrastructure project is daunting. FIRSTBLOX made it easy. We will have no hesitation about calling on them again in the future.
