"As a long-standing customer, LaCrosse has often engaged ABS training professionals to provide on-site classes to explore new functionality and features in their new software releases. Although training may be considered a standard offering with enterprise application companies, the trainers and developers at ABS far exceed industry norms in their delivery of custom training.

ABS has a deep knowledge of the apparel business. Their standard business practice is to tailor training according to their customer's unique business operations and processes. The result is highly targeted yet meaningful content to all attendees, regardless of the student's experience level.

Most companies admit that they use a small fraction of all features and functions within a software package. Having a business partner who knows your company and business processes is a strategic advantage to more fully adopt system functionality to best advantage. The ABS team is tops in customer focus, delivery and responsiveness."
