Noble Foods wouldn’t be in the strong position we are today progressing with our major systems upgrades & replacements without Sentis’ skill and experience. The team are methodical, candid and paid close attention to the nuances of our IT and operations, and their novel problem solving provide significant savings and efficiencies back to our business. They delivered the most valuable outcome – a vision of Noble’s future, and a long-term strategy for marrying technology and processes to help us get there. Louisa Hogarty, HR & IT Director, Noble Foods
We embarked on a significant upgrade of our ERP systems and processes to keep pace with the changing technology space but found that we did not have the in-house expertise to manage both the internal cultural and 3rd party IT supplier technological issues. Sentis successfully delivered a project that would navigate and manage us through this, which would ultimately aid in the streamlining our working methods and enhancing internal controls around our ERP environment. Rajinder Gill, Finance & IT Director, Minor, Weir and Willis
What Sentis has delivered is fantastic. They have surpassed the requirements we originally had for our infrastructure and made annual savings well into five figures. Shirley O’Connell, Logistics and Business Services Director, Stewart Company
