Tharwah is always responsive to any question we have, they keep us informed and they understand who we are and what we’re trying to do. I firmly believe that. And, any time that we make contact with them, they let us know they’ve received it and they let us know what the next step is. Tharwah is above and beyond their competitors and we have talked and met with other consulting firms. Some of them wouldn’t even follow up very well when we was just talking to them about them possibly providing services.
