“Benefits Information Group has had the profitable pleasure of working with Northwest Database Services and Geoff Hollander for almost 15 years. Geoff’s superior technical prowess would be more than enough to recommend NWDS’ services – but it is his talent for grasping the interrelationship of a client’s business and its information flows, as well as devising service solutions that actually improve the client’s business performance, that elicits our recommendation. We provide marketing data for financial services professionals. Much of that information is mined from a relational database of several million governmental compliance filings. Geoff early on understood the importance of thoroughly examining the connections among these technically abstruse files, and quickly alerted us to subtle but telling information contained in the data that gave enterprises additional reasons to become and remain our clients. He not only documented these connections clearly and concisely, but took us through the data relationships in a way that brought them to life for us – that made it easier for us to convey their value to our clientele.”

“Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate you and Northwest Database Services. We have enjoyed working with you since early 2000. While we appreciate the quality work and fair pricing, it’s the great relationship we have had with you personally that we cherish the most. Working with any software or database can frequently be frustrating for the programmer and client. As we have worked with you and Northwest Database Services on projects, it never ceases to amaze us how patient and pleasant you are to work with. Believe us when we say that other firms that we worked with in the past have not been as easy to work with. Just finding database and software programming competence is difficult. Finding competence and a pleasant working relationship has been like hitting the lottery! Thanks for the great work and even better personal relationship that we have with you and Northwest Database Services!”
