Alex, De Santiago, Director Informa PLC, Provided the following testimonial
“Best Salesforce Consulting Partner…PERIOD: For the past 14 years, I’ve worked with numerous Salesforce Consulting partners, from very small, boutique style to very big traditional partners (big 5). Girikon has been by far the best partner I’ve worked so far. They are very receptive, responsive, highly knowledgeable, technical and very quick to address issues to find agreeable solutions. Their cost and value have no comparison in the industry. I highly recommend them and give them a 5 star”
