Testimonials

For me, the most important qualities of a partner are transparency and expertise. Carlos and his team at Skysoft definitely embody those qualities and many more. Initially, we hired Skysoft to help with a security and HIPAA compliance project. Recently, with our CRM project, they were instrumental from day 1. The project was run efficiently, and expectations were properly set. The result was a well designed and implemented CRM platform that is scalable as our business grows. The best quality of the Skysoft team is that they don't nickel and dime you every time there is a change or enhancement needed. The CEO really appreciates that. I would definitely recommend Carlos and Skysoft for your next IT project.
