Client Feedback
The team at Yellowstone were able to quickly gather this information for us,
confirming reporting lines for the vast majority of the map. As such, we were able to confidently provide our client with the insight they needed; furthermore, the team had identified some out of date profiles on the map that we would not otherwise have
uncovered.
The Yellowstone team’s responsiveness and pace were instrumental to the success of this project.
