The vendor has been engaged since March/April 2016 and the client invested around $100,000 to date.

Quality of Deliverables

“In the beginning, Angry Nerds did not have a dedicated project manager. Now, there is an assigned project manager, and communication and deadlines run smoother. The team at Angry Nerds is easy to talk to and cares about their projects, which has led to a valuable long-term relationship.”
