Node4 built and delivered a product as complex as RetirePort in 6 months – a real achievement. I have worked on a couple of such projects and none have gone as smoothly as this. Node4 have been nothing short of superb in terms of professionalism, commitment, tenacity and delivery; it has been (and will continue to be I’m sure) an absolute pleasure to work with Node4. It feels like a partnership rather than a client/supplier relationship. Together with Node4, we have delivered a first class product which is already proving a success. Node4’s translation of our vision to a finished product is in no doubt a market winner!
