We initially began using Prescient when we needed to install a major upgrade of our Watermark imaging solution. Our VAR at that time did not have the expertise to accomplish the upgrade. They also have the expertise to switch from Filenets Watermark product to other. The fact that Prescient Information Systems is a relatively small company allowed us to develop a very close working relationship, more of a partnership like working relationship. It has been very different from other vendor/client relationships we have been in.
