Our clients say it best

Julie Kellman, Director of HR, Pepper Construction

“I’ve learned that with a software company, you’re not just buying the application, you’re buying the people behind it. Sometimes you focus on the application and forget you need the people behind it. And that’s the secret sauce.”

Julie Kellman,

Head of HR
Pepper Construction Group
