Our Clients Say

Andrew

Manufacturing Business Buyer

MEV and I closed out the engagement today—very successful.
Given their background in custom software development, they are perhaps an unusual partner for IT DD, but I actually believe this was their strength. Their focus on custom means they are used to unstructured problems where they need to come up with the method AND the solution, which is a great fit for evaluating small businesses because SMB rarely have the "standard / industry-best-practice" equipment and tools that you will find in Corporate America. Folks who work on custom also need to be versed in a variety of technologies, not just the latest-and-greatest, which was helpful for my target, which is really old-school and has old tech.

The MEV team are technology experts, everyone from the primary developer to the senior engineer and project manager. When we had to make tough technical decisions, they always presented options to my team and explained the implications. I always felt they had our best interests in mind.

MEV team members provide excellent feature/project/service feedback and suggestions along with proven processes to ensure resource efficiency and high quality deliverables.
