"Practical, iterative and down-to-earth. Avoid the big-bang delivery that fails and take on these guys to craft a solution that iterates along with your business's ability to adapt to change."

"The Architech Club certainly lived up to our already high expectations. The whole experience was a breathe (sic) of fresh air and reinvigorated the team. The project allowed us to reconsider our perception, boost our output and achieve longstanding challenges."

"Gemma has been a great help to us in our implementation of FinancialForce PSA. Vitally, Gemma has a great blend of product knowledge coupled with a deep understanding of the Salesforce environment.

"More than anything else though, it's Gemma's pragmatic approach to problem solving that really marks her out as a someone you want to have on your team. When Gemma's there, things get done and they get done well.”

"Honest, thoughtful, intelligent architectural support for a fast growing business. Fascinating ability to do live visual solutioning was very helpful to all staff involved. The support and assistance was critical to augment architectural solutioning during a very busy time."

"Professional and extremely knowledgeable team that helped us navigate the difficulties of an org migration. We'll certainly be using The Architech Club again for future projects. Highly recommended."

“We had had various experiences with implementation partners before TAC. Each of them come with their own challenges. The architect came in, got to grips with our entire business very quickly, was able to advise where we should invest in using partners and guide us in how we could manage Salesforce ourselves.”

"I couldn't be more happy or impressed than how I am right now with how our project has delivered the results we desperately needed."
