Customer Testimonials
It's all very well us telling you about our fantastic skills and abilities; however we feel it's best to let our customers tell you about their tangible experience of dealing with Samarind. Here's what just a few of them have to say about us:
Hawley & Co
"We needed to upgrade our server in order to cater for our updated accounting and taxation software, as the underlying database management system was being updated from Pervasive Btrieve to Microsoft SQL. Our software provider had announced they were shortly to cease supporting Pervasive, so time was of the essence!
"We are delighted with the work carried out by Samarind in a tight turnaround time. Some of our workstations have been here since we started in 2003, so it took several days on site to upgrade the server and transfer all the data. However, we were always kept in the loop and we were able to work around it. We have always found Samarind staff punctual, friendly and helpful."
Mel Graham,
Practice Manager, Hawley & Co
Jones Environmental Forensics
"Our new HP blade server is cutting edge technology and I'm very pleased to have it here. I have every confidence it puts in place the robustness and growth capability needed for the future.
"I've found Samarind very professional and helpful. The engineers are sensitive to a layman's point of view - they don't talk in jargon but explain everything clearly. It's a much closer working relationship than one gets with a big corporation. I would thoroughly recommend Samarind to anyone considering employing outside assistance for their IT services!"

"Virtualisation seems to be a cutting edge solution. Samarind spent a lot of time on it, testing and trialling, and waiting for the right software to come along - they were determined to get it right for us.
"No business can afford to be without its computer system, especially one that enjoys such high volume sales as we do. VM Ware allows us to return the company's critical data in under an hour. We feel a lot more secure now!"
Tim Norman
Operations Director, Bedsdirect.com
The Emigration Group
"We've always found Samarind exceptional in terms of their knowledge, professionalism and levels of support. Their team work extremely hard, above and beyond the call of duty. I don't make recommendations lightly, but I have been happy to recommend Samarind to other companies on several occasions."
Paul Arthur,
Managing Director, The Emigration Group
Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbH
"With a large portfolio of products and a complex supply chain mechanism to support it, we needed a dynamic and flexible software system to cope with all of the variables. We are very impressed with Samarind's openness to our needs and in particular, their willingness to work in partnership with Fresenius-Kabi's global regulatory and IT teams to ensure our needs are met precisely."
Dr. Dr. Michel Mikhail,
Senior Vice President of Corporate Regulatory Affairs, Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbH
APHC
"We had significant integration issues, with disjointed membership and accounting systems. The ability to bring these systems together and to write information directly into Sage Line 50 was paramount for us, especially with the likely volumes of daily transactions from our members.
"Samarind brought together all of our systems, increasing efficiency considerably, reducing necessary man-hours and therefore our overheads. This was a big investment for us and we're very satisfied with the result."
Claire Oddy,
Group Financial Controller, APHC
Plus Opto
"We desperately needed an upgrade and enhancement for our existing software, to allow us to better manage the orders and stock control of our distribution business.
"Initially we were concerned about ordering bespoke software because we feared it would mean having to manually transfer all the financial information over to Sage, but Samarind created a tailor-made package that went a step further by making it talk to Sage.
"The two programs run side by side as one system, so we don't have to do any manual inputting. This has saved us a lot of time and increased the efficiency of our business. The integration has proved seamless and we are delighted with the result."
Geoff Woods,
Director, Plus Opto
Daulby Read Ltd
"Samarind have been our trusted IT services partner for some years now and knowing of their excellent web development skills, we commissioned them to develop our new website. We're now free to update the site when ever we need to, without additional cost, which is fantastic! We're delighted with the results."
