Upon reaching out to SoftwarePlant to engage in an evaluation effort, they recommended we work with Tom Pabich of Mark My Words. We engaged in a seven-day effort to review our requirements, train on BigPicture, and configure our environment. Working with Mark My Words was well worth the cost. Tom had tremendous command of BigPicture’s functionality and capabilities. He also had a strong knowledge of Jira and was able to recommend a variety of solutions to meet our needs. We appreciated Tom’s honesty regarding strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. He was collaborative, engaging, and knowledgeable.
