What they’ve said about us
I have worked with VerifAction across multiple organisations for over 15 years. VerifAction have an extraordinary ability to deliver beyond simply time and cost. Their solutions are always well architected and designed with long term flexibility in mind. They add immense value by always questioning the best way to achieve the stated objective in the simplest and most efficient manner possible. They are a rare resource in the modern world of technology and if you get the opportunity to engage with their services you should grab it with both hands.
Shawn SmithChief Operating Officer, Hollard InvestmentsWe have been using the services of VerifAction for the last 15 years. Their dedication to delivering on client expectations is exemplary and their technical ability makes them one of our most trusted service providers within the investment management space. Their ability to break down complexity through superb integration has given us the capability to leverage opportunities that would otherwise be very onerous and costly to implement. I appreciate the way they simplify things and make it work – they have a passion for it as a company and you can see it in the behaviour of all their employees – it really is part of their company DNA.
Gerard BarnardtChief Data Officer, Sanlam Investment GroupVerifAction have been instrumental in countless successful projects within our group. Their technical knowledge and maturity ensure that they deliver on time and budget on each project they undertake, a rarity within the industry. It is, therefore, without hesitation that I recommend their services.
