Our project to acquire new Loan Processing and Accounting software had been ongoing for several years and was proving to be overwhelming. Between a failed and costly attempt to develop a custom solution and our discomfort in trying to accurately evaluate various packaged systems we were at a stand still. A colleague recommended Hartman Business Technology and after some discussion we retained them to spearhead our search for a new system. The HBT team has brought not only expertise and experience to our search but they have created a disciplined and methodical approach to the process. In a few months working with HBT we have made more progress than we did in several years on our own. We fully expect that, with HBT's help, we will be able to select and implement a new system with confidence that it's the one best suited to our needs and budget.
