(Julia) Led us through the implementation plan – saved us time since Julia knows what time different points of the implementation process actually takes. We appreciated not having to reinvent the wheel – but to use the expertise that Julia offered and provided. We covered a lot of ground in two days –would’ve taken a lot of research to have covered that ground on our own.
