What our customers say

When we were concerned about upgrading our ERP server, Abacus created a temporary cloned instance, applied the upgrade there and allowed us to test the functionality of our add-on software products to remove our fears of this situation causing costly production downtime. Their server expertise was spot-on and our Abacus support team was even willing to work with us during off-hours. We could not have asked for a better business partner.
