Dear Mr Clarke

RE: STOCK CONTROL AND ORDERING SYSTEM

Just a quick note to say that we have now been running the system your company built for us for well over 12 months and we have been very pleased with its performance.

The initial development was excellent and the system has performed very well so far.

Thank you very much for providing a suitable product and keep up the good work – I have no hesitation in recommending your company’s services to friends and colleagues

Once again many thanks.

Kind Regards

"Working with CIOS Ltd has been a great experience. The members of staff are really friendly and helpful and update you on progress made. They are lovely to work with and have created the Afaf Matrimonials Service a wonderful and secure database system that is up and running, which is still being worked on and improved. CIOS have been very flexible and despite coming from a different background and religion, they have dealt with the situation and project very well and have been very understanding. Highly recommended!"

To whom it may concern

We are at the forefront of our business offshore and our client servicing and commission systems were all created and are run by CIOS. Since the beginning of our relationship they have worked closely with us to tailor make our systems with the client in mind. They had no preconceived ideas on how we should be running our systems. They listened to us and together we have created, what we believe to be, the best database in our business. We are demanding clients and they exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any of their potential clients and we do recommend them to our clients whenever we are asked about our systems.

To whom it may concern

I can confirm that I have been extremely satisfied with all the work carried out by CIOS. I was creating a new database for the university and worked with CIOS to design and develop it. All at CIOS, and Mike Rushton in particular, were excellent at communicating with me and working through the design of the database. Mike made several trips to the university to work with me in person. I tested out the database at various stages of development and they were very quick to respond to any changes or amendments needed. They completed all the work within the time set and the final database was better than we had anticipated due to the input from CIOS. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to you.

Kind regards

Nilesh Mehta, Funai UK's Technical Manager said: "We are committed to providing excellent after-sales support for our customers, and we need high-performance software to do that. We provide the best for our customers, and demand the best from our suppliers. We've been impressed by the quality of the solution that CIOS has provided, and doubly impressed by the timescale in which it was delivered."

To whom it may concern

Last year we were becoming increasingly frustrated at the cost of back office software and the fact that most of the providers of software expected us to pay a monthly fee and also an extra charge for every machine that we used the software on.

We wanted a system, which we could put client’s details on, with links to client’s files, and not have any restrictions on how many machines we used the program on.

Justin Clarke of CIOS Ltd came to see us and we asked him if it was possible to produce a back office system for us which would be our own system and could be used by us on any number of machines and accessed remotely via the internet from our server.

Justin asked us to set out the criteria and then designed Datafresh to our specifications. We are extremely happy with the results and with Justin’s help are still developing the system to allow us to integrate client details, files and appointments. It also allows us to obtain demographic and other specific details, which can be used to target clients for mail shots.

The main benefit as far as we are concerned is that we now have a system that gives us exactly what we want and can be used as we wish without having to obtain and pay for more licences. We also, in conjunction with CIOS, intend to develop the system to provide links for research and, through our website, allow clients to access their policy details. With CIOS’s help we hope to eventually have a fully integrated back office system which can be used for not just client records but for billing, accounts and all administration requirements.

Justin has been instrumental in providing us with professional IT services and has provided us with a product that does, initially what we asked for, but can be adapted and developed to provide a bespoke system for anyone that requires a relational database based system.

The other main criteria, which we gave Justin was that the programme should be easy to use by a computer novice. He has achieved this by adding a user-friendly interface between the operator and the programme itself and I believe that anyone can easily learn to use the programme within 30 minutes or less.

I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

To whom it may concern

Thank you for your request dated 21st Sep 2009 requesting a business reference for CIOS.

I have worked with CIOS in a professional capacity for over 3 years and would confirm that their professionalism, performance and attitude during this time has been excellent.

I am confident that they will prove to be an asset to your company, in the tasks that you may ask of them.

I trust that the information provided will be of help and assistance.

Best Regards
