Client Testimonial:
My relationship with Christo, the Founder of Excelisys, goes back 20+ years. I have witnessed first–hand the creative vision and growth of an industry leader in the custom database solution design, development, and deployment realm. I sought out Christo and his team for my meager project of an Intra–net Sales Automation solution. We photograph very large competitions nationwide and we needed a system that was easy to use and rock solid, as it was to be setup and torn down in 30 cities over a six-month period. But most importantly, for a small businessman on a tight budget, I needed to realize a significant increase in operating profit to justify this investment.

Kurt Knippel, Ken Moorhead, and Abhi Garg are amazing to work with, especially for someone with all the demands in the world, but with very little knowledge of the actual solution building protocols and software limitations. I have been known to be impatient and both Kurt and the eX-team held my hand throughout the entire process, all the while wondering why Christo had put up with a “friend like me” for so many years. I demanded; they produced. I was impatient; they were soothing and methodical. Biggest bottom line: SALES INCREASED!

I look forward to Kurt and the crew’s continued patience and expertise as we refine an already fantastic photo database software solution. Thank you Excelisys!
