What these testimonials tell you

Most prospective clients ask the same things: Will this be delivered properly? Will the system be maintainable? And will you still be around to support it?

The quotes below come from long-standing clients across sectors such as education, engineering, manufacturing and professional services — covering everything from legacy modernisation and SQL tuning to Android field apps and full bespoke platforms.

Alastair quickly understood our requirements and delivered an Android app and web-based management interface that met all of our needs. The solution was built on time, at a competitive price and with great communication throughout. We look forward to working with him again.

Working with New Media Aid allowed us to take a big step forward with technology in an industry that has been slow to adapt. There was no suitable off-the-shelf solution for our needs, so Alastair worked closely with us to design the right tools for our operations and customers.
