Honestly, the most amazing customer support ever! Everyone should be studying how CDS gets things done. It truly is incredible and much appreciated.
We are always delighted to have courteous, timely, professional expertise within reach by a phone call. That is service!
Really great people and always super helpful. I've been using this software package since 2003 and have always received excellent support and in short order.
The agent was very professional in providing the necessary assistance to solve the issue I had quickly, while also providing a secondary solution in case the initial fix did not work (which it did). Overall, excellent and rapid service.
I've had very good help from C.D.S. Support. It's a great service that's being provided by good people. Thank you for all the help you have provided!
