"Obsidian's combination of technical and business expertise is unsurpassed and indeed very rare.
The "do what it takes attitude" of Obsidian enabled Xone to exceed our initial business requirements which where further enhanced by the use of the Jet product. The flexibility in Jet and compelling reason why Xone chose Jet is that the every line of the software code is written by the individuals at Obsidian.
If you need someone to implement a difficult Billing solution, I would personally recommend that you chose Obsidian to deliver the result you are looking for, and more importantly at the price point that makes sense."
Art Cartwright
COO, Xone
