What our Clients Say

When we decided it was time to upgrade our ERP, I knew it was a big undertaking and I was going to need help. Contracting with blum to help us oversee the project was the best decision we could have made. They were there in the beginning to help manage the overwhelming amount of information received in the RFP process and reduce it down to a workable apples-to-apples comparison. After selection, blum was there to make recommendations on best practices and provide insight on future implications of decisions we made. During implementation, Jeff and Lindsey were there to provide the extra push our vendor needed when problems arose. After our go-live blum helped us with our product reviews to ensure we had the functionality we were promised and had paid for. I firmly believe that blum was the reason the software implementation project went so smoothly. I would highly recommend their services, and feel they were worth every penny we spent.

- Mandi Moore, Finance Director, Town of Windsor Locks
